A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DIRECTING RUNTIME DATA IN A SERVER NETWORK

摘要

Described are a system and method for managing runtime data in a computer network including servers in a server farm. One of the servers is designated as a first collector point for collecting a first type of data. A first zone including a subset of the servers is defined. The subset includes the first collector point. A first type of data is directed to the first collector point for storage. A second collector point collects a second type of data. In one embodiment, at least two servers in the server farm are designated as collector points for collecting data of the first type. A first subset of the servers are assigned to transmit data of the first type to at least one of the collector points. A second subset of the servers are assigned to transmit data of the first type to another of the collector points.
