Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In edge cloud architectures, monitoring traffic and resource usage across multiple edge cloud entities becomes challenging due to flexible data movement and sharing.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus with a monitor circuit that tracks traffic from multiple sources, maintains telemetry information based on received rules, and determines whether to send callback messages or tracing requests to selected sources, while storing telemetry information for access.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If monitoring is implemented in edge cloud architecture with flexible data movement, then monitoring capability is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a monitor circuit as an intermediary component that sits between multiple traffic sources and the monitoring system. This mediator receives telemetry rules from sources, autonomously monitors traffic according to these rules, and generates callback messages when conditions are met, thereby improving monitoring capability while isolating the complexity from both sources and central control.
Solution Approach 2:
The monitoring system is segmented into distributed monitor circuits at different locations rather than a centralized monitoring approach. Each monitor circuit independently handles telemetry rules and traffic monitoring for its local sources, dividing the complex monitoring task into manageable segments that can operate autonomously.
2Measurement precision
If fine-grained monitoring of multiple sources is implemented, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Each monitor circuit is configured with specific telemetry rules tailored to its local traffic sources, enabling fine-grained monitoring precision for each source while maintaining uniform monitor circuit architecture. The local quality of monitoring rules allows precise monitoring without requiring complex centralized processing.
Solution Approach 2:
Monitor circuits autonomously evaluate telemetry rules and generate callback messages when conditions are satisfied, without requiring constant central control or complex coordination. This self-service capability enables precise monitoring of multiple sources while keeping the system relatively simple through decentralized autonomous operation.
