Disclosed herein is a computer architecture and software that is configured to modify data intake operation at an asset-monitoring system based on a predictive model. In accordance with the present disclosure, the asset-monitoring system may execute a predictive model that outputs an indicator of whether at least one event from a group of events (e.g., a failure event) is likely to occur at a given asset within a given period of time in the future. Based on the output of this predictive model, the asset-monitoring system may modify one or more operating parameters for ingesting data from the given asset, such as a storage location for the ingested data, a set of data variables from the asset that are ingested, and/or a rate at which data from the asset is ingested.
