Abstract
A distributed monitoring system comprises a plurality of agents configured for communication with at least one central server. A given one of the agents obtains measurement data, and applies a statistical test to the measurement data. Based on a result of the statistical test, the given agent determines whether or not an update needs to be sent by the agent to the central server. The agent sends the update to the central server if the determination indicates that the update should be sent.
