Abstract
Coalescing triggers from external events. Embodiments include receiving a plurality of triggers, each associated with occurrence of an external event. A first trigger identified as time critical is scheduled for firing. A second trigger identified as opportunistic is coalesced with others of the plurality of triggers. Coalescing includes determining an importance of an application-based workload associated with the second trigger, determining a system state relevant to firing the second trigger, and determining a condition for firing the second trigger based on the importance of the workload and the system state. Coalescing also includes identifying that the condition for firing the second trigger aligns with a condition for firing the others of the plurality of triggers, and scheduling the second trigger for firing along with the others of the plurality of triggers. Embodiments also include subsequently firing the second trigger along with the others of the plurality of triggers.
