1. A method comprising:
first receiving sensor information from a plurality of sensors of a network at a collector of a plurality of collectors, the sensors including a virtual machine (VM) sensor for a VM, a hypervisor sensor for a hypervisor, at least one server sensor in a server different from a virtual machine sensor or a hypervisor sensor, the first receiving comprising:
information from the VM sensor to the collector flows through the VM, the hypervisor, the server, and a leaf router;
information from hypervisor sensor to the collector flows through the hypervisor, the server, and the leaf router;
information from the at least one server sensor to the collector flows through the server and the leaf router;
identifying, in response to the collector becoming unavailable, the sensors of the plurality of sensors that corresponds to an the unavailable collector of a the plurality of collectors from the sensor information;
reassigning, in response to the identifying, the sensors to another collector from the plurality of collectors; and
causing the sensors to update a configuration of the sensors based on collector information associated with the another collector 
second receiving, in response to the causing, sensor information from the plurality of sensors at the another collector, the second receiving comprising:
information from the VM sensor to the another collector flows through the VM, the hypervisor, the server, and a leaf router;
information from hypervisor sensor to the another collector flows through the hypervisor, the server, and the leaf router; and
information from the at least one server sensor to the another collector flows through the server and the leaf router.
