Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with event driven metric data collection optimization are described. In one embodiment, a method includes providing a domain knowledge catalog that defines, for each of a plurality of source metrics: i) a plurality of target type relationships and ii) for each target type relationship, a plurality of metrics that are related to the source metric. For a particular system, a deployment topology is determined defines target entities that are included in the system, where the target entities comprise respective instances of a subset of the target type relationships. The method includes receiving configuration of an event related to a source metric. The domain knowledge catalog is accessed and metrics that are related to the subset of target type relationships for the source metric are selected for collection.
