Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes extracting a cross-platform data-collection schema based, at least in part, on information available via heterogeneous interfaces of a plurality of source platforms. The cross-platform data-collection schema identifies a plurality of collectable data points in relation to particular source platforms. The method further includes configuring a cross-platform data-collection schedule for the plurality of source platforms. The cross-platform data-collection schedule indicates a collected subset of the plurality of collectable data points in relation to collection frequencies. The method also includes causing data values for the collected subset to be collected on an ongoing basis as dictated by the cross-platform data-collection schedule. Furthermore, the method includes processing a proposed change to at least one of the collected subset and the collection frequencies. In addition, the method includes modifying the cross-platform data-collection schedule to reflect the proposed change.
