Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
receiving by a computing device from a collector device, a request to subscribe, in a target-defined mode, to network telemetry data regarding a network element associated with the computing device;
in response to receiving the request, provisioning, by the computing device, a network telemetry sensor to collect the network telemetry data regarding the network element;
detecting, by the computing device, a working mode in which the network telemetry sensor is operating to stream the network telemetry data, out of a plurality of working modes for streaming the network telemetry data, as a periodic streaming mode based at least in part on a rate at which statistics of the network element changes values in the network telemetry data collected and streamed by the network telemetry sensor, including:
determining, by the computing device, that the rate at which statistics of the network element changes values exceeds a specified rate; and
in response to determining that the rate at which statistics of the network element changes values exceeds the specified rate, determining, by the computing device, that the working mode of the network telemetry sensor is the periodic streaming mode; and

sending, by the computing device to the collector device, the network telemetry data collected by the network telemetry sensor, wherein a header of the network telemetry data indicates the working mode of the network telemetry sensor.
