Abstract

Systems and techniques to deputize agents in a system to reduce a number of event logs received by a coordinator are described. An agent belonging to a group of agents may receive a request to select a deputized agent. The agent may determine data associated with a component hosting the agent and send the data to a selection agent. The agent may receive a message from the selection agent indicating that the agent is to be the deputized agent. The deputized agent may receive one or more event logs from other agents in the group, determine that at least one event log has a high priority, and send the at least one event log to the coordinator. The deputized agent may store the one or more event logs in a storage device accessible to the hardware component.
