Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and processes to perform granular and selective agent-based throttling of command executions. A resource consumption threshold is allocated to an agent process that is configured to perform data collection tasks on a host computing device. A desired throttle is generated for the agent process based on the resource consumption threshold allocated to the agent process and execution of the agent process is controlled in polling intervals. For each polling interval, a current throttle level for the agent process is determined based on a run count and a skip count of the agent process, the agent process is suspended if the agent process is active and the current throttle is greater than the desired throttle level, and the agent process is resumed if the agent process is idle and the current throttle level is not greater than the desired throttle level.
