Abstract
A native data collection component may be implemented as a tool, appliance, application and/or utility, and including physical and/or logical implementations thereof. The native data collection component may be responsible for data orchestration, data collection, and aggregation and distribution of collected data from among multiple sources. Accordingly, the native data collection component may be independent of a particular data source and act as an independent performance characteristic collection mechanism. In an embodiment, the native data collection component may include three devices/sub-components: a data orchestration device, a data collection interface and a data aggregation and distribution device. Each sub-component may be service based and communication with each service may be done using state-less protocols. The data collection interface enables a software structure that includes data collection plug-ins that are independent of data sources and are not deployed into the SAN as agents of any of the data sources.
