Dynamic distribution of network entities among monitoring agents

摘要

Techniques are described for dynamically distributing entity monitoring assignments to a plurality of monitoring agents. In one example, processors of a co-location facility execute a plurality of network services monitoring agents. A first monitoring agent of the plurality of monitoring agents transmits instructions to a messaging service, causing the messaging service to dequeue, from a queue, a first message of a plurality of messages, wherein the first message describes a first network services entity of a plurality of network service entities. The monitoring agent transmits, to the first monitoring agent, the first message. The first monitoring agent retrieves, from the first network services entity described by the first message, performance and health metrics for the first network services entity. The first monitoring agent transmits, to the messaging service and for transmission to a database of the co-location facility, the performance and health metrics for the first network services entity.
