Abstract
A resource monitoring method may include determining, at a first monitoring node, a load level for each monitoring node of a plurality of monitoring nodes including the first monitoring node and a second monitoring node based on a namespace associated with the first monitoring node. The namespace may include an overlay namespace and a local namespace. The local namespace may identify objects being monitored by the first monitoring node. The overlay namespace may include local viewpoints for other monitoring nodes of the plurality of monitoring nodes including the second monitoring node. Each local viewpoint may identify one or more objects that are monitored by a respective other monitoring node. The method may further include prohibiting the first monitoring node from instituting a new object creation request if the load level of the second monitoring node is lower than the load level of the first monitoring node.
