The granted patent US12047253B2 outlines a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, an apparatus, and a computer-implemented method designed to manage telemetry data within a cluster of host machines. The core functionality involves determining the priority level of telemetry data based on its data type and associated tags, which are linked to a quality-of-service (QoS) framework. The system is structured to store telemetry data of varying priority levels in separate storage locations that are external to the cluster. Additionally, the telemetry data is sent to a server, which is also separate from the cluster, in accordance with the established QoS.

Further claims detail additional functionalities, such as the ability to extract telemetry data from messages containing other data, maintain separate transport queues for different priority levels, and allocate bandwidth accordingly. The system can also receive telemetry data from applications that tag the data to indicate priority levels. An override policy is included, allowing the system to prioritize data based on tags over data types when discrepancies arise. The server is responsible for providing the telemetry data to a client portal based on the communicated priority levels, ensuring efficient data management and delivery.
