Claim:
1. A method, comprising: deploying, into a runtime environment upstream from an analytic module, an ingress quality specification (IQS) module; receiving, by the IQS module, a data stream; analyzing, by the IQS module, a subset of data of the data stream to determine if the subset of data meets a quality expectation of the analytic module; annotating the subset of data to indicate a quality status based on whether the subset of data meets the quality expectation of the analytic module; outputting the data stream with the annotated subset of data to the analytic module; receiving, by the analytic module, the data stream, the analytic module analyzing the data stream to assess an operating characteristic of an upstream device; determining, by the analytic module, the quality status of the subset of data; and responsive to determining that the quality status indicates that the subset of data does not meet the quality expectation, omitting the subset of data from an analysis of the data stream by the analytic module.
