Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: receiving an event stream from a system being monitored; providing, to a metrics engine, an event from the event stream via an event queue; identifying a profile associated with the event; generating, based at least in part on the event, a new metric associated with the profile; determining whether a number of existing metrics associated with the profile exceeds a threshold number of metrics for the profile; as a result of determining that the number of existing metrics associated with the profile does not exceed a threshold number of metrics for the profile, retaining the new metric in association with the profile; combining the event with an additional event from the event queue to produce a combined event, the combined event including an occurrence count; replacing the event and the additional event with the combined event; and providing the combined event to the metrics engine.
