Abstract
A cloud monitoring system is disclosed herein that uses a filtering paradigm after metric data aggregation and before storing in a repository that allows querying the metric data to significantly reduce the raw data stored into the repository. A persistence filter identifies extremal cloud metrics that are persistent across time windows, increasing the confidence that extremal metrics correspond to abnormal behavior. A cloud metric filter comprising a sequence of logical and statistical filters that are interchangeable in order and use allows for dynamic filtering of cloud data. The cloud metric filter has a feedback control loop to update the order and parameters of individual filters based on properties of filtered metric values. Intelligent filtering of cloud metric data yields a focused set of statistically significant metric data for monitoring and eliminates noisy metric data for normal behavior.
