Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes continuously receiving time-series data for end-user transactions occurring on one or more monitored systems. The method further includes continuously processing and storing the time-series data in a plurality of virtual machines. In addition, the method includes, responsive to a determined time-series-data burst, spawning one or more temporary virtual machines. Moreover, the method includes, during the determined time-series-data burst, continuously processing and storing the time-series data in the plurality of virtual machines and in the one or more temporary virtual machines. The method also includes, responsive to a determined conclusion of the determined time-series-data burst, causing the one or more temporary virtual machines to transition to a passive state in which the one or more temporary virtual machines cease processing and storing new time-series data but make previously-stored time-series data available for access.
