MACHINE LEARNING FOR METRIC COLLECTION

A performance monitoring system includes a metric collector configured to receive, via metric exporters, telemetry data comprising metrics related to a network of computing devices. A metric time series database stores related metrics. An alert rule evaluator service is configured to evaluate rules using stored metrics. The performance monitoring system may include a machine learning module and is configured to determine optimized metric collection sampling intervals and rule evaluation intervals, and to automatically determine recommended alert rules.
