Management of dynamic polling rates of sensors

A method, comprising:

• receiving given sensor readings from a wireless gateway at a first polling rate, wherein a first set of sensors that transmit the given sensor readings are located proximate to respective racks of computing hardware within a data center environment;
• receiving additional sensor readings from a second sensor at a second polling rate, wherein the second sensor that transmits the additional sensor readings is located proximate to cooling equipment within the data center environment;
• executing an algorithm, using the given sensor readings and the additional sensor readings, wherein the executing the algorithm comprises comparing temperature, power, and time parameters;
• and
• outputting, based on results of the executed algorithm, updated polling rates of at least one of the first set of sensors or the second sensor, wherein one or more of the updated polling rates is different from at least one of the first polling rate or the second polling rate.

A system, comprising:

• sensors, configured to provide sensor readings to a wireless gateway at a first polling rate;
• and
• a computing device, configured to:
• receive the sensor readings from the wireless gateway;
• execute an algorithm, using the sensor readings, wherein the execution of the algorithm comprises comparison of temperature, power, and time parameters;
• and
• output, based on results of the executed algorithm, updated polling rates of the sensors, wherein one or more of the updated polling rates is different from the first polling rate.
