In one embodiment, a device maintains a buffer of historical telemetry data of a particular type of telemetry. The device obtains new telemetry data of the particular type of telemetry. The device makes a state evaluation by comparing the new telemetry data to the buffer, to determine whether the new telemetry data is an outlier. The device sends a message indicative of the new telemetry data to a message bus for delivery to a recipient that is not subscribed to receive telemetry data of the particular type of telemetry, when the device determines that the new telemetry data is an outlier.
