Patent ID: 8583597

Claim:
A system comprising: one or more sensors configured to monitor a machine and generate corresponding monitoring data; and an on-site monitoring (OSM) data archival portion including a processor configured to execute: an on-site monitoring (OSM) archiver configured to receive and store the monitoring data collected by the one or more sensors; an export service configured to export a portion of the monitoring data from the OSM archiver into one or more compressed files, wherein the export service comprises one or more threads configured to be executed on the processor, and wherein the processor is configured to determine a time of execution for each of the one or more threads, and to generate a data archive of the portion of the monitoring data collected over a first time interval or over a second time interval based at least in part on whether the time of execution corresponds to an expected time for exporting the portion of the monitoring data; and an export background intelligent transfer service (BITS) configured to establish a secure connection and send the one or more compressed files to an off-site location.
