Resource-aware log monitoring data transmission for Smart and IoT devices

Along with an increase in the number of IoT devices and computations progressively shifting to the network edge and mobile systems, the complexity of computer systems is on the rise. In order to keep them in operation their monitoring becomes important. However, classic monitoring systems do not cope well with light-weight solutions due to the large volume of monitoring data sent to the cloud. In this paper we present mechanisms which can be applied to monitoring systems to make them suitable for IoT and mobile devices. We discuss and evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of both mechanisms as well as the results they produce. Finally, we propose the concept of function-driven log processor that can be used to control the proposed mechanisms.
