A Self-Adaptive Measurement Rate Control Method for an Agent-based Service Monitoring System

The increasing complexity of services of telecommunications carriers has increased the burden of operators monitoring these services and the load on the system monitoring the target devices. Operators need to choose appropriate monitoring settings for each component of the services, considering the properties of each component. In addition, whenever a component is added or changed, its monitoring settings need to be reconfigured. Furthermore, if operators configure incorrect monitoring settings, service anomalies may not be detected, or quality of service may be damaged. Therefore, the monitoring system needs to automatically input and change the monitoring settings in accordance with the service. In this paper, we propose a method to dynamically adjust the monitoring interval for a monitoring system. Finally, evaluation results show the proposed method can reduce the monitoring overhead more effectively than the previous method and can also ensure the accuracy of monitoring when a service abnormality occurs.
