Abstract

A monitoring system for metric data may include devices, each device capable of generating respective metric data. The monitoring system may also include a processor and a memory cooperating therewith. The processor may be configured to monitor the devices via a network to obtain the respective metric data, generate predicted trigger events based on monitoring the devices, and generate a respective adapted monitoring for the devices based upon each predicted trigger event. The processor may also be configured to, upon occurrence of one of the predicted trigger events, implement the respective adapted monitoring to obtain new respective metric data.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A monitoring system for metric data comprising:
a plurality of devices, each device capable of generating respective metric data; and
a processor and a memory cooperating therewith, the processor configured to
monitor the plurality of devices via a network to obtain the respective metric data,
generate a plurality of predicted trigger events based on monitoring the plurality of devices,
generate a respective adapted monitoring for the plurality of devices based upon each predicted trigger event,
upon occurrence of one of the predicted trigger events, implement the respective adapted monitoring to obtain new respective metric data, and
generate respective updated adapted monitoring for the plurality of devices based upon discarding non-occurred predicted trigger events.

2. The monitoring system of claim 1 wherein the processor is configured to generate the respective adapted monitoring by adapting a polling frequency of the respective metric data.

3. The monitoring system of claim 1 wherein the processor is configured to generate the plurality of predicted trigger events according to a learning prediction model.

4. The monitoring system of claim 1 wherein the processor is configured to, upon occurrence of an unpredicted trigger event, generate a new adaptive monitoring for the unpredicted trigger event and monitor the plurality of devices via the network to obtain the respective metric data.

5. The monitoring system of claim 1 wherein the processor is configured to rank a probability of occurrence of each predicted trigger event and generate the respective adapted monitoring based upon the ranked probability.

6. The monitoring system of claim 1 wherein the plurality of predicted trigger events comprises one of a metric-based trigger event and an environmental-based trigger event.

7. The monitoring system of claim 1 wherein the plurality of devices comprise a plurality of Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

8. A method of monitoring metric data comprising:
using a processor cooperating with a memory to
monitor a plurality of devices via a network to obtain the respective metric data, each of the plurality of devices being capable of generating respective metric data,
generate a plurality of predicted trigger events based on monitoring the plurality of devices,
generate a respective adapted monitoring for the plurality of devices based upon each predicted trigger event,
upon occurrence of one of the predicted trigger events, implement the respective adapted monitoring to obtain new respective metric data, and
generate respective updated adapted monitoring for the plurality of devices based upon discarding non-occurred predicted trigger events.

9. The method of claim 8 wherein using the processor comprises using the processor to generate respective adapted monitoring by adapting a polling frequency of the respective metric data.

10. The method of claim 8 wherein using the processor comprises using the processor to generate the plurality of predicted trigger events according to a learning prediction model.

11. The method of claim 8 wherein using the processor comprises using the processor to, upon occurrence of an unpredicted trigger event, generate a new adaptive monitoring for the unpredicted trigger event and monitor the plurality of devices via the network to obtain the respective metric data.

12. The method of claim 8 wherein using the processor comprises using the processor to rank a probability of occurrence of each predicted trigger event and generate the respective adapted monitoring based upon the ranked probability.

13. A non-transitory computer readable medium for monitoring metric data, the non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
monitoring a plurality of devices via a network to obtain the respective metric data, each of the plurality of devices being capable of generating respective metric data;
generating a plurality of predicted trigger events based on monitoring the plurality of devices;
generating a respective adapted monitoring for the plurality of devices based upon each predicted trigger event;
upon occurrence of one of the predicted trigger events, implementing the respective adapted monitoring to obtain new respective metric data; and
generate respective updated adapted monitoring for the plurality of devices based upon discarding non-occurred predicted trigger events.

14. The computer readable medium of claim 13 wherein the operations comprise generating the respective adapted monitoring by adapting a polling frequency of the respective metric data.

15. The computer readable medium of claim 13 wherein the operations comprise generating the plurality of predicted trigger events according to a learning prediction model.

16. The computer readable medium of claim 13 wherein the operations comprise, upon occurrence of an unpredicted trigger event, generating a new adaptive monitoring for the unpredicted trigger event and monitoring the plurality of devices via the network to obtain the respective metric data.

17. The computer readable medium of claim 13 wherein the operations comprise ranking a probability of occurrence of each predicted trigger event and generate the respective adapted monitoring based upon the ranked probability.
