Abstract: Embodiments relate to a device ecosystem in which devices collect and forward failure data to a control system that collects and analyzes the failure data. The devices record, categorize, transform, and report failure data to the control system. Failures on a device can be counted and also correlated over time with tracked changes in state of the device (e.g., in use, active, powered on). Different types of Mean Time To Failure (MTTF) statistics are efficiently computed in an ongoing manner. A pool of statistical failure data pushed by devices can be used by the control system to select devices from which to pull detailed failure data.
