Abstract

An information handling system determines a data collection frequency according to a data collection policy, wherein the data collection frequency is based on a data type of the data to be collected and a data collection interface. The system collects the data according to the data collection frequency associated with the data type of the data and the data collection interface, and transmits the data to a requesting information handling system.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method comprising:
receiving, by an information handling system, a data collection policy to collect data from a device, wherein the data collection policy includes data collection grammar of a statement that is used to invoke a data collection rule included in the data collection policy, and wherein the data collection rule and the data collection grammar of the statement were generated for the device; determining a data collection frequency based on a system platform architecture of the device, a data collection interface to handle input and output of the data, and a data type of the data to be collected according to the data collection policy; collecting the data based on the data collection frequency associated with the data type of the data, the data collection interface to handle the input and output of the data, and the system platform architecture of the device, wherein the data collection interface is a memory-mapped input/output interface (MMIO); and transmitting the data to a requesting compute device.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the data is stored in a local data storage of the requesting compute device.

3 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising decoding the data collection grammar associated with the data collection rule.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the data collection grammar is based on a schema.

5 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising updating the schema of the data collection policy in response to a change in the system platform architecture.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the data collection policy includes a payload.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the payload includes a plurality of data collection frequencies associated with a plurality of data types.

8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising updating the data collection policy in response to a schema update.

9 . An information handling system, comprising:
a memory to store a data collection policy; and a processor to communicate with the memory, the processor to:
determine a data collection frequency according to the data collection policy, wherein the data collection frequency is based on a data type of data to be collected, a data collection interface to handle input and output of the data, and a system platform architecture of a device, wherein the data collection policy includes data collection grammar of a statement that is used to invoke a data collection rule included in the data collection policy, and wherein the data collection rule and the data collection grammar of the statement were generated for the device;
collect the data from the device according to the data collection frequency associated with the data type of the data, the data collection interface to handle the input and output of the data, and the system platform architecture of the device; and
transmit the data to a requesting information handling system.

10 . The information handling system of claim 9 , wherein the data collection interface includes a data lane.

11 . The information handling system of claim 10 , further comprising decoding the data collection grammar associated with the data collection rule.

12 . The information handling system of claim 11 , wherein the data collection grammar is based on a schema.

13 . The information handling system of claim 9 , wherein the data collection policy includes a payload.

14 . The information handling system of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to update the data collection policy in response to a schema update.

15 . The information handling system of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to update a schema of the data collection policy in response to a change in the data collection interface.

16 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium to store instructions that are executable to perform operations comprising:
receiving a data collection policy to collect data from a device; determining a data collection frequency based on a system platform architecture of the device, a data collection interface to handle input and output of the data, and data type of the data to be collected according to the data collection policy, wherein the data collection policy includes data collection grammar of a statement that is used to invoke a data collection rule included in the data collection policy, and wherein the data collection rule and the data collection grammar of the statement were generated for the device; collecting the data based on the data collection frequency associated with the data type of the data, the data collection interface to handle the input and output of the data, and the system platform architecture; and transmitting the data to a requesting application.

17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the data collection interface includes a control lane.

18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the operations further comprise decoding the data collection grammar associated with the data collection rule.

19 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18 , wherein the data collection grammar is based on a schema.

20 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the data collection policy includes a payload that includes a plurality of data collection frequencies for a plurality of interfaces.
