Computer-implemented processes and systems described herein are directed to reducing volumes of data sent from edge devices to a data center. Each edge device runs an agent that collects event information generated by event sources of the edge device in a runtime interval. Each agent reduces the event information to relevant event information at the edge device in accordance with instructions received from a controller server of the data center. The relevant event information contains less information than the event information. Each agent forwards the relevant event information over the internet to external services executed at the data center, where the relevant event information is stored in a data storage device of the data center.

Processes and systems for decentralization of data produced at the edge of a distributed computing system

Computer-implemented methods and systems described herein are directed to reducing volumes of log messages sent from edge systems to a data center. The computer-implemented methods performed at each edge system includes collecting a stream of log messages generated by one or more event sources of the edge system. Representative log messages of the stream of log messages are determined. The edge systems may discard non-representative log messages from data storage devices at the edge system. The representative log messages are sent from each of the edge systems to the data center where the representative log messages are received and stored in data storage devices of the data center, thereby reducing the volumes of log messages sent from the edge systems to the data center.
