Application: Metric groups for software-defined network architectures (Patent ID: US20230409369A1)

The patent filed by Juniper Networks Inc. describes techniques for efficiently exporting metrics data within a software-defined network (SDN) architecture. The network controller in the SDN system includes processing circuitry and a telemetry node that processes requests to enable specific metric groups for export from compute nodes. The telemetry node transforms the selected metrics into telemetry exporter configuration data, configuring the telemetry exporter at the compute nodes to export the chosen metrics. This system allows for the selective export of metrics data, enhancing network monitoring and management capabilities.

The claims associated with the patent detail the functionality of the network controller and telemetry node, including the creation of custom metric groups, handling overlapping metric subsets, and interfacing with container orchestration platforms. The method outlined in the patent involves processing requests to enable specific metric groups, transforming the selected metrics into telemetry exporter configuration data, and configuring the telemetry exporter to export the chosen metrics. By implementing these techniques, the SDN architecture system can efficiently manage and export metrics data from compute nodes, improving network performance and monitoring capabilities.
