Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A network element, comprising:
an embedded device having one or more property affecting a function of the embedded device;
a container;
a computing system having a processor and a memory, the memory being a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a performance monitoring domain agent, a performance monitoring collector daemon, and a performance monitoring logger, the container being operable to execute the performance monitoring domain agent,
the performance monitoring collector daemon being processor-executable code that when executed by the processor causes the processor to communicate with the embedded device and collect one or more performance information of the embedded device based on the one or more property;
the performance monitoring domain agent being processor-executable code that when executed by the processor causes the processor to: retrieve the performance information from the performance monitoring collector daemon; format the performance information into a formatted data based on a metrics metadata file; and transmit the formatted data to the performance monitoring logger,
wherein the performance monitoring domain agent is processor-executable code that when executed by the processor further causes the processor to:
receive the metric metadata file;
decode the metric metadata file into selected metrics; and
store the selected metrics in the memory, and

wherein the performance monitoring domain agent is processor-executable code that when executed by the processor further causes the processor to restart the performance monitoring domain agent after storing the selected metrics in the memory, said restarting the performance monitoring domain agent includes bringing down the container executing the performance monitoring domain agent followed by bringing up the container.
