A system in one embodiment comprises a first endpoint device that is configured to communicate with a second endpoint device using a given communication protocol. The first endpoint device is configured to monitor a communication session under the given communication protocol and to generate monitoring data associated with the communication session. The first endpoint device is configured to determine that a designated network condition has occurred based at least in part on the monitoring data. The first endpoint device is configured to activate a performance monitoring component based at least in part on the determination that the designated network condition has occurred and to generate performance data utilizing the activated performance monitoring component. The first endpoint device is configured to anonymize and store the performance data.

Anonymized storage of monitoring data

One example method includes creating a manifest that specifies one or more requirements concerning execution of an application that resides at an end device in an N-tier configuration, identifying a workload that is associated with the application and executable at one or more edge stations of the N-tier configuration, gathering and evaluating network telemetry, orchestrating the workload based on the network telemetry and the manifest, scheduling performance of the workload at the one or more edge stations, and performing the workload at the one or more edge stations in accordance with the scheduling.

N-tier workload and data placement and orchestration

A system in one embodiment comprises a first endpoint device that is configured to communicate with a second endpoint device using a given communication protocol. The first endpoint device is configured to monitor a communication session under the given communication protocol and to determine a metric value associated with a given network metric based at least in part on the monitoring. The first endpoint device is further configured to determine that a network condition has occurred based at least in part on a comparison of the metric value to a threshold value for the given network metric and to activate a performance monitoring component of the given communication protocol for the first endpoint device based at least in part on the determination that the network condition has occurred. The first endpoint device is further configured to generate performance data associated with the communication session utilizing the activated performance monitoring component.

Activation of performance monitoring component of network protocol based on network metrics

A system in one embodiment comprises a first endpoint device. The first endpoint device comprises at least one processor that is coupled to memory. The first endpoint device is configured to communicate with a second endpoint device over a network using a given communication protocol. The at least one processor is configured to monitor a communication session under the given communication protocol between the first endpoint device and the second endpoint device and to determine that a designated network condition has occurred based at least in part on the monitoring of the communication session. The at least one processor is further configured to activate a performance monitoring component of the given communication protocol for the first endpoint device based at least in part on the determination that the designated network condition has occurred and to generate performance data associated with the communication session utilizing the activated performance monitoring component.

Controlled activation of performance monitoring component of network protocol

A request is obtained at a monitoring controller to provide a monitoring function for at least one subject virtual processing element (e.g., VM) in a virtualized information processing system. The monitoring controller selects and/or provisions at least one traffic capture appliance configured to capture traffic associated with the subject virtual processing element. The monitoring controller requests the virtualized information processing system to forward a copy of traffic associated with the subject virtual processing element, using traffic mirroring and an encapsulated tunnel, to the traffic capture appliance for analysis.
