US Patent 12013879 Dynamic resolution estimation in metric time series data

Described are systems, methods, and techniques for collecting, analyzing, processing, and storing time series data and for evaluating and dynamically estimating a resolution of one or more streams of data points and updating an output resolution. Responsive to receiving a stream of data points, a data resolution can be derived and an output resolution can be set to a first value. When a change to the data resolution is detected, the output resolution can be changed, modifying a frequency at which output data points are generated and/or transmitted. In some instances, a detector can be implemented to trigger an alert responsive to ingested data points corresponding with triggering parameters. An output resolution for the detector can be dynamically modified based on dynamically detecting a change to the data resolution of the stream of data.
