Claim 10:
11. A system for processing data generated by instrumented software, the system comprising: at least one memory having instructions stored thereon; and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions, wherein the at least one processor is configured to: determine, for a time interval of a plurality of time intervals, a failure threshold value for a data stream, based on a type of a data source sending the data stream, the failure threshold value indicating that the instrumented software sending the data stream has failed; monitor the data stream for data values for the time interval; mark the data stream as dead data if the data values from the data stream fail to arrive before the failure threshold value; exclude the data stream from sets of data streams considered for subsequent time intervals until a next data value arrives for the data stream; mark the data stream as alive when the next data value of the data stream is received; evaluate an expression using the data values of the data stream, the expression processing the data values of the data stream; and send a result of evaluating the expression for presentation through a user interface.
