Abstract
A mechanism is provided for adaptive data collection. A set of data collection mechanisms operating within an information technology system is discovered. For each resource specific piece of data being collected by the set of data collection mechanisms, a determination is made as to whether more than one data collection mechanism is collecting the resource specific piece of data from a resource. Responsive to more than one data collection mechanism collecting the resource specific piece of data from the resource, a time interval to collect the resource specific piece of data from the resource is set to a smallest collection interval of the collection intervals utilized by the more than one data collection mechanism. Collection of the resource specific piece of data from the resource by the more than one data collection mechanism is suspended and the resource specific piece of data is collected without utilizing the more than one data collection mechanism.
