Abstract: A telemetry module integrated with an application may include a data collection and analysis engine configured to implement a data collection pattern comprised of data collection rules to perform data collection and analysis for reporting to a service associated with the application. The telemetry module may also include a scaling profile manager configured to dynamically scale the data collection and analysis performed by the data collection and analysis engine for a target device such that parameters of the data collection and analysis correspond to resources and capabilities of the target device. After scaling, the data collection and analysis engine may then be further configured to determine additional data collection rules based on the scaled data collection and analysis, and dynamically modify the data collection pattern implemented based on the additional data collection rules such that the data collection pattern also corresponds to resources and capabilities of the target device.

The telemetry module may include additional components configured to dynamically scale the data collection and analysis performed by the data collection and analysis engine for a target device such that parameters of the data collection and analysis correspond to resources and capabilities of the target device. For example, a scaling profile manager may receive a profile for a device on which the application is being executed from the service, where the profile defines criteria for the scaling of the data collection and analysis. The scaling profile manager may then determine one or more resources and capabilities of the device, compare the determined resources and capabilities to the criteria, and scale the data collection and analysis based on the comparison.
