ABSTRACT:
A network monitoring application deploys conventional monitor applications to network nodes and receives diagnostic events from the monitors. In response to a monitor reporting a high severity event or condition, the monitor application automatically deploys a dissolving monitor to the network node that automatically ceases operation at the conclusion of a predetermined lifespan. The dissolving monitor automatically reports verbose diagnostic events to the monitoring application, including diagnostic events not reported by the conventional monitor. The dissolving monitor removes itself from the node at the end of its lifespan by freeing all resources of said node that it consumed. In some embodiments, the dissolving monitor reports diagnostic events with decreasing frequency prior to its dissolution. The dissolution of the dissolving monitor may be triggered by time since its deployment, performance and status of the monitored node, error or anomaly counts, or combinations thereof.
