Metric Persistence Task

A Metric Persistence Task is a data persistence task that saves performance metrics from metric collectors to persistent metric storage enabling trend analysis and capacity planning.

• AKA: Metric Storage Task, Performance Data Persistence, Telemetry Persistence Task.
• Context:
  • It can typically store System Metrics including CPU utilization.
  • It can typically save Application Metrics with response times.
  • It can typically maintain Business Metrics tracking KPI values.
  • It can typically preserve Network Metrics monitoring bandwidth usage.
  • It can typically record Custom Metrics for domain-specific monitoring.
  • ...
  • It can often aggregate Raw Metrics for storage optimization.
  • It can often downsample Historical Metrics for long-term retention.
  • It can often compress Time-Series Data for space efficiency.
  • It can often replicate Critical Metrics for high availability.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a High-Resolution Metric Persistence Task to being a Low-Resolution Metric Persistence Task, depending on its sampling frequency.
  • It can range from being a Real-Time Metric Persistence Task to being a Delayed Metric Persistence Task, depending on its ingestion latency.
  • ...
  • It can utilize Time-Series Databases for optimized storage.
  • It can employ Metric Aggregation Services for pre-processing.
  • It can leverage Distributed Storage for scalable persistence.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Infrastructure Metric Persistences, such as:
    • Prometheus Metric Persistence Task using pull-based collection.
    • InfluxDB Metric Persistence Task with tag-based indexing.
    • Graphite Metric Persistence Task maintaining hierarchical namespaces.
  • Application Metric Persistences, such as:
    • APM Metric Persistence Task tracking transaction traces.
    • User Analytics Metric Persistence Task storing behavior patterns.
    • Error Rate Metric Persistence Task monitoring service health.
  • Business Metric Persistences, such as:
    • Revenue Metric Persistence Task tracking financial indicators.
    • Conversion Metric Persistence Task measuring funnel performance.
    • SLA Metric Persistence Task ensuring service compliance.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Real-Time Metric Display, which visualizes rather than persists metric values.
  • Metric Alerting, which triggers rather than stores threshold breaches.
  • Metric Calculation, which computes rather than saves derived values.
