US Patent 10235263 Optimizing adaptive monitoring in resource constrained environments

Adaptive monitoring dynamically optimizes the monitoring frequency of metrics with respect to system constraints. One or more metrics are monitored. The monitoring includes receiving a value for the metric and evaluating the received metric value. If the evaluation is determined to affect one or monitoring parameters, or if an environment-based event occurs the metrics are adapted. Adapting metrics includes removing or adding a metric based on each metric's correlation to the affected monitoring parameter or environment based trigger. The frequencies of the metrics are optimized based on the available resources.
