Abstract
Distributed metrics collection systems and methods can be used to help bind together a large organization by implementing both formal and informal information flows. Hierarchical reporting and tasking are formal information flows. Gossip is an informal information flow. Users use a set of modules to configure distributed metrics collection. Management type users can configure data flows that appear similar to hierarchical reporting. All users can configure data flows that simply distribute items of interest. Over time, the data flows evolve in an organic manner as users appear, move, change interests, and leave.
