Automatic scope configuration of monitoring agents for tracking missing events at runtime

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a device receives, from a monitoring agent that monitors an application, an indication that the monitoring agent did not capture information regarding a particular event during execution of the application. The device determines that the particular event is of a relevant event type that should be tracked. The device generates a configuration for the monitoring agent that adjusts a monitoring scope of the monitoring agent so as to capture information regarding the particular event. The device causes the monitoring agent to be updated with the configuration, wherein the monitoring agent captures information regarding the particular event after being updated with the configuration.
