AUTO UPDATE OF SENSOR CONFIGURATION
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- determining collector information of a plurality of collectors in a network;
analyzing the collector information of the plurality of collectors to determine active collectors among the plurality of collectors;
determining that a specific collector among the active collectors becomes unavailable;
removing the specific collector from the active collectors;
receiving sensor information from a plurality of sensors of the network;
determining at least one sensor of the plurality of sensors that corresponds to the specific collector;
reassigning the at least one sensor to another collector among the active collectors; and
causing the at least one sensor to update configuration based at least upon collector information of the another collector.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for updating configurations in sensors deployed in multi-layer virtualized environments. In some examples, a system can track information of sensors and collectors in the network. In response to determining that a specific collector becomes unavailable (e.g., the specific collector is down, offline or becomes unsupported), the system can determine affected sensors corresponding to the specific collector, determine a new collector among active collectors of the network for each of the affected sensors, and dynamically update configuration and settings of the affected sensors to maintain proper collector-to-sensor mappings and other settings on the affected sensors.
