Abstract
An example method of monitoring elements in a cloud computing system includes partitioning an address space of a hierarchy of service elements into a plurality of address subspaces managed by a respective plurality of processing nodes. The method further includes receiving time series data from a service element, routing the time series data to a first processing node based on an address of the service element within the hierarchy, and processing the time series data at the first processing node to update metric data maintained for the service element. The method further includes routing the time series data to a second processing node based on an address of a parent service element above the service element in the hierarchy, and processing the time series data at the second processing node to update metric data maintained for the parent service element.
