Performance Monitoring with Reduced Transmission of Information
First Claim
1. A method, in a data processing system, for monitoring performance of a computing machine, the method comprising the repetition of:
- collecting, by a processor in the data processing system, a current indicator representing a current value of a performance indicator of the computing machine;
comparing, by the processor, the current indicator with at least one previous indicator representing a previous value of the performance indicator of the computing machine;
responsive to the current indicator being outside a threshold of the at least one previous indicator, transmitting, by the processor, the current indicator remotely to a resource via a communication network; and
responsive to the current indicator being within the threshold of the at least one previous indicator, disabling, by the processor, the transmission of the current indicator.

Abstract
A mechanism is provided for monitoring performance of a computing machine. A current indicator is collected representing a current value of a performance indicator of the computing machine. The current indicator is compared with at least one previous indicator representing a previous value of the performance indicator of the computing machine. Responsive to the current indicator being outside a threshold of the at least one previous indicator, the current indicator is transmitted remotely to a resource via a communication network. Responsive to the current indicator being within the threshold of the at least one previous indicator, the transmission of the current indicator is disabled.

11. A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having a computer readable program stored therein, wherein the computer readable program, when executed on the computing system, causes the computing system to:
-
collect a current indicator representing a current value of a performance indicator of the computing machine; compare the current indicator with at least one previous indicator representing a previous value of the performance indicator of the computing machine; responsive to the current indicator being outside a threshold of the at least one previous indicator, transmit the current indicator remotely to a resource via a communication network; and responsive to the current indicator being within the threshold of the at least one previous indicator, disable the transmission of the current indicator. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)

12. A system comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory comprises instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to; collect a current indicator representing a current value of a performance indicator of the computing machine; compare the current indicator with at least one previous indicator representing a previous value of the performance indicator of the computing machine; responsive to the current indicator being outside a threshold of the at least one previous indicator, transmit the current indicator remotely to a resource via a communication network; and responsive to the current indicator being within the threshold of the at least one previous indicator, disable the transmission of the current indicator. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)
