Abstract
An apparatus comprises at least one processing device configured to, in a monitoring system in which at any given time at least one monitoring node has a primary monitoring role responsible for monitoring operation of system nodes of a distributed system and other monitoring nodes have a secondary monitoring role responsible for monitoring operation of the at least one monitoring node having the primary monitoring role, identify a first monitoring node having the primary monitoring role at a current time. The processing device is also configured to determine, based at least in part on a time-based ranking of the monitoring nodes, a second monitoring node having the secondary monitoring role at the current time to transition to the primary monitoring role, and to transition the second monitoring node to the primary monitoring role at a subsequent time.
