Claim 20:
21. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions stored thereon, which when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations for processing data generated by instrumented software, comprising: determining, 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; monitoring the data stream for data values for the time interval; marking the data stream as dead data if the data values from the data stream fail to arrive before the failure threshold value; excluding the data stream from sets of data streams considered for subsequent time intervals until a next data value arrives for the data stream; marking the data stream as alive when the next data value of the data stream is received; evaluating an expression using the data values of the data stream, the expression processing the data values of the data stream; and sending a result of evaluating the expression for presentation through a user interface.
