Adaptive network monitoring with tuneable elastic granularity

摘要

Embodiments are directed to monitoring network traffic using network computers. Monitoring triggers associated with one or more conditions and one or more actions may be provided. A monitoring engine may monitor information that is associated with network traffic associated with networks based on an inspection detail level. The monitoring engine may compare the monitored information to the conditions associated with the monitoring triggers. The monitoring engine may activate one or more monitoring triggers based on a result of the comparison. The monitoring engine may modify the inspection detail level based on the actions associated with the activated monitoring triggers to increase the amount of the information monitored by the monitoring engine. An analysis engine may provide analysis of the network traffic based on the monitored information.
