Abstract
Techniques for remotely identifying potential system instability based on jitter in scheduled interactions are described. One example method includes identifying a scheduled interaction between a computing device and a remote host, wherein the computing device and the remote host are communicatively coupled over a network, and wherein the scheduled interaction includes the computing device repeatedly receiving a message over the network from the remote host at a regular time interval; identifying arrival times of messages received from the remote host over a plurality of cycles of the scheduled interaction; calculating a jitter metric for the scheduled interaction over the plurality of cycles based on the arrival times of the messages; determining that the jitter metric exceeds a pre-configured jitter threshold; and generating an alert indicating that a potential system instability condition exists on the remote host.
