Abstract

This application provides a data collection method and a device. A data collection device determines, based on a threshold corresponding to a target indicator, a collection interval for to-be-collected data of the target indicator from a plurality of available collection intervals; and the data collection device collects the data of the target indicator based on the collection interval.

First claim

1 . A data collection method, comprising:
determining, by a data collection device, based on a threshold corresponding to a target indicator, a collection interval for to-be-collected data of the target indicator from a plurality of available collection intervals; and collecting, by the data collection device, the data of the target indicator based on the collection interval; wherein before the determining, by a data collection device based on a threshold corresponding to a target indicator, a collection interval for to-be-collected data of the target indicator, the method further comprises one of: receiving, by the data collection device, a data collection policy from a controller, wherein the data collection policy comprises at least one of the threshold or collection interval indication information, wherein the collection interval indication information is a plurality of collection frequencies or a plurality of collection periodicities, and wherein the plurality of collection frequencies or the plurality of collection periodicities represent the plurality of available collection intervals; or determining the data collection policy by:
obtaining receive-end capability information, wherein the receive-end capability information is generated based on capability information of at least one of a data receiving device or a data specification requirement of a data analysis device; and
determining, by the data collection device, the data collection policy based on the receive-end capability information, wherein the data collection policy comprises at least one of the threshold or collection interval indication information, wherein the collection interval indication information is a plurality of collection frequencies or a plurality of collection periodicities, and wherein the plurality of collection frequencies or the plurality of collection periodicities represent the plurality of available collection intervals.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the data collection device receives the data collection policy from the controller, and wherein the method further comprises, before the receiving, by the data collection device, the data collection policy from the controller:
sending, by the data collection device, capability information of the data collection device to the controller, wherein the capability information of the data collection device indicates at least one of a data attribute supported by the data collection device, a capability of the data collection device to determine a collection interval for data of an indicator based on a threshold of the indicator, a collection frequency supported by the data collection device, or a collection periodicity supported by the data collection device, and wherein the data attribute comprises at least one of a data format, data precision, or a data bit width, wherein the controller determines the data collection policy based on the capability information of the data collection device.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the capability information of the data receiving device indicates at least one of a data attribute supported by the data receiving device, a data reporting frequency supported by the data receiving device, or a data reporting periodicity supported by the data receiving device, and wherein the data attribute comprises at least one of a data format, data precision, or a data bit width; and
wherein the data specification requirement of the data analysis device comprises data precision of a service requirement.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:
adjusting the threshold based on at least one of a data characteristic or data amount adjustment indication information of the data of the target indicator; or adjusting at least one of the plurality of available collection intervals based on at least one of a data characteristic or data amount adjustment indication information of the data of the target indicator; wherein the data characteristic comprises at least one of a data physical characteristic, a data distribution feature, or a data collection result evaluation, wherein the data collection result evaluation represents a degree of impact, on performance of the data collection device, of collecting the data of the target indicator by the data collection device based on a current collection frequency, and wherein the data amount adjustment indication information indicates to increase or decrease a data collection amount, or the data amount adjustment indication information indicates a data collection frequency expected by the controller.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the controller and the data receiving device are a same device.

6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:
sending, to the controller, the collection frequency or the collection periodicity representing the collection interval.

7 . The method according to claim 6 , wherein the sending, to the controller, the collection periodicity or the collection frequency representing the collection interval comprises:
sending, to the controller, based on a collection interval for the target indicator changing, the collection periodicity or the collection frequency representing the collection interval.

8 . A data collection method, comprising:
determining a data collection policy of a target indicator, wherein the data collection policy comprises collection interval indication information, the collection interval indication information is one of a plurality of collection frequencies or a plurality of collection periodicities, and the plurality of collection frequencies or the plurality of collection periodicities represent a plurality of available collection intervals for collecting data of the target indicator; and sending the data collection policy to a data collection device; wherein the determining a data collection policy of a target indicator comprises:
obtaining at least one of capability information of the data collection device, a data specification requirement of a data analysis device, or capability information of a data receiving device; and
determining the data collection policy based on the at least one of capability information of the data collection device, the data specification requirement, or the capability information of the data receiving device.

9 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the obtaining at least one of the capability information of the data collection device, the data specification requirement of the data analysis device, or the capability information of the data receiving device comprises at least one of:
receiving the capability information of the data collection device from the data collection device; receiving the capability information of the data receiving device from the data receiving device; or receiving the data specification requirement from the data analysis device.

10 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the data collection policy further comprises a threshold corresponding to the target indicator, and wherein a collection interval for the data of the target indicator is determined based on the threshold corresponding to the target indicator.

11 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the method further comprises:
determining receive-end capability information based on at least one of capability information of a data receiving device or a data specification requirement of a data analysis device; and sending the receive-end capability information to the data collection device, wherein data collection device determines the data collection policy based on the receive-end capability information.
