Entity component system utilization for data center and hardware performance analytics
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for providing data monitoring and analysis of a data center using an Entity-Component-System (ECS) architecture. Embodiments of the disclosure provide mechanisms for initializing the ECS architecture by associating devices and data metrics relating to the data center as entities and components. During runtime, the components are continuously updated with collected data metrics and the state of the entities are analyzed by the systems to determine if an event has occurred that requires a remedial action be performed. The events correspond to events occurring on the data center as they relate to the devices associated with the entities. Actions correspond to steps that are taken to rectify the event.
