Scheduling telemetry data collection for an information handling system

An information handling system comprising a processor having access to memory media storing instructions executable by the processor to perform operations, comprising:

• receiving, from a client computing module, a request for particular telemetry data, the request including a particular client identifier (ID) of the client computing module, a particular datatype ID of the particular telemetry data, a timeliness threshold of the particular telemetry data, and a timestamp of the request;
• in response to the request, accessing a cache, the cache including a plurality of telemetry data, each plurality of telemetry data associated with a respective timestamp;
• determining that a difference between a current time and the timestamp of the particular telemetry data is greater than the timeliness threshold, and in response:
• accessing a database, the database including:
• for each telemetry data, a collection frequency associated with the telemetry data;
• for each combination of client ID of a plurality of client IDs and datatype ID of a plurality of datatype IDs, a time of last request by the client ID for the datatype ID of the telemetry data;
• identifying, based on the database, the time of last request associated with the particular client ID and the particular datatype ID;
• determining an elapsed time between the time of last request and the timestamp of the request;
• determining that the collection frequency is not greater than the elapsed time, and in response:
• collecting the particular telemetry data from one or more computing hardware;
• providing the collected particular telemetry data to the client computing module;
• and
• performing, at the client computing module and based on the collected particular telemetry data, a remediation action at the computing hardware of the information handling system.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing software comprising instructions executable by one or more computers which, upon such execution, cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, from a client computing module, a request for particular telemetry data, the request including a particular client identifier (ID) of the client computing module, a particular datatype ID of the particular telemetry data, a timeliness threshold of the particular telemetry data, and a timestamp of the request;
• in response to the request, accessing a cache, the cache including a plurality of telemetry data, each plurality of telemetry data associated with a respective timestamp;
• determining that a difference between a current time and the timestamp of the particular telemetry data is greater than the timeliness threshold, and in response:
• accessing a database, the database including:
• for each telemetry data, a collection frequency associated with the telemetry data;
• for each combination of client ID of a plurality of client IDs and datatype ID of a plurality of datatype IDs, a time of last request by the client ID for the datatype ID of the telemetry data;
• identifying, based on the database, the time of last request associated with the particular client ID and the particular datatype ID;
• determining an elapsed time between the time of last request and the timestamp of the request;
• determining that the collection frequency is not greater than the elapsed time, and in response:
• collecting the particular telemetry data from one or more computing hardware;
• providing the collected particular telemetry data to the client computing module;
• and
• performing, at the client computing module and based on the collected particular telemetry data, a remediation action at the computing hardware of the information handling system.
