1. A method comprising:

  • detecting, by a quorum, an anomaly among a group of collectors and aggregators in a network, the group of collectors configured to receive metric data from a plurality of agents on one or more remote servers in the computer network and the group of aggregators configured to receive one or more selected metrics from the one or more collectors;

    responsive to detecting the anomaly, causing a plurality of producers to initiate a repair task generation process;

    receiving, at the quorum, a query from at least one producer of the plurality of producers;

    determining, by the quorum, whether the repair task has already been generated by another producer of the plurality of producers;

    preventing, by the quorum, the at least one producer from generating the repair task when another producer of the plurality of producers has already generated the repair task;

    causing, by the quorum, the at least one producer to generate the repair task when another producer has not already generated the repair task;

    detecting that the repair task has been generated by at least one producer of the plurality of producers;

    assigning the generated repair task to a worker; and

    completing the generated repair task at the assigned worker.
