Optimizing performance information collection

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media, comprising one or more instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• receive, from a network management system, priority information assigning priority values, to one or more types of network performance information, corresponding to a degree of relevance regarding a network condition;
• prioritize, based on the priority information, one or more types of network performance information;
• identify one or more device resources;
• assign a cost value to each of the one or more device resources, wherein the cost value corresponds to a demand to use a particular device resource for one or more operations other than collecting network performance information;
• identify a quantity of information management points allocated for appropriating device resources to collect network performance information;
• identify a set of network performance information to collect based on the cost value assigned to each of the one or more device resources and priorities associated with the one or more types on network performance information;
• and
• collect the set of network performance information and communicate an optimal set of network performance information to the network management system.

A computer device-implemented method, comprising:

• receiving, from a network management system, priority information assigning priority values, to one or more types of network performance information, corresponding to a degree of relevance regarding a network condition,
• prioritizing, based on the priority information, one or more types of network performance information,
• evaluating an availability corresponding to one or more device resources associated with the computer device,
• identifying one or more collection functions related to collecting network performance information corresponding to the network condition,
• receive, from the network management system, a request to activate the identified collection functions,
• collecting the network performance information based on the prioritizing of the one or more types of network performance information and the availability corresponding to the one or more device resources, and
• communicating the collected network performance information to the network management system.
