Abstract

An illustrative method for operating software agent deployed within a compute environment may include detecting a request for a software agent deployed within a compute environment to collect a new type of workload data not previously collected by the software agent and associated with one or more workloads deployed within the compute environment, directing, based on the request, the software agent to install a module corresponding to the new type of workload data in a kernel of an operating system associated with the one or more workloads, and receiving the new type of workload data collected by the software agent using the module in a dataset that uses a same schema as another type of workload data previously collected by the software agent.
