Abstract: Dynamic monitoring of an element in a network is provided by predicting whether a resource threshold crossing, such as load-based level, is likely to be exceeded within a certain time period. If the level is likely to be exceeded shortly, the monitoring rate of the element for a given time period may be increased. Conversely, if the level is unlikely to be exceeded in the near term, the monitoring rate may be decreased.
