US Patent 11516308 Adaptive telemetry sampling

A data processing system implements adaptive telemetry sampling by obtaining first telemetry data from a plurality of telemetry data sources, analyzing the first telemetry data to identify a subset of telemetry data sources for which a reduced sampling rate may be implemented, determining a reduced sampling rate for each event type of the plurality of event types, selecting a subset of the event types for which the reduced sampling rate is to be applied, obtaining second telemetry data from the subset of telemetry data sources at the reduced sampling rate associated with each event type of the subset of event types, analyzing the second telemetry data to determine one or more estimated metric values for one or more metrics, and generating a report comprising the one or more estimated metric values and an estimated total cost saving based on an estimated cost saving associated with each event type.
