Program products for pacing the frequency at which systems of a multisystem environment compress log streams

At least one program storage device readable by a machine, tangibly embodying at least one program of instructions executable by the machine to perform a method of pacing the frequency at which multisystem log streams are compressed, said method comprising:

• ascertaining a rate at which a multisystem log stream is compressed by one system of a multisystem environment, said rate being relative to how frequently said multisystem log stream is compressed by at least one other system of said multisystem environment;
• comparing, at predefined time intervals, said ascertained rate to a predefined value to determine whether the frequency at which said one system compresses said multisystem log stream is to be adjusted;
• adjusting, in real-time, the frequency at which said one system compresses said multisystem log stream, when said comparing indicates adjusting;
• determining whether the time of said predefined time intervals is to be modified;
• and
• modifying the time of said predefined time intervals to adjust how often said comparing is performed, when it is determined that the time is to be modified.
