Abstract

Dynamic reporting rates for a log management system are adaptively allocated. Each individual controller node device of plurality of controller nodes is initially allocated an EPS rate limit for submitting event records to a log management system (e.g., an SIEM log management system) out of a licensed EPS rate. When surges are detected, the log management system dynamically reallocates proportions of EPS rates, within the licensed EPS rate. The individual EPS rate limit for at least one collector node is adjusted in real-time for a specific controller node based on under usage by other collector nodes. Another technique is to prioritize or weight events causing the surge to determine adjustments to EPS rate.
