Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems and methods for anomaly detection within a storage system based on a number of storage protocol connections are provided. In one example, alerting thresholds based on storage protocol connections are made more relevant and customer-specific by taking into consideration, among other things, one or more of the type/class/model of storage system, the configuration of the storage system, the type of the workload making use of the storage system, and various windows of time. Based on the customer-specific nature of the alerts generated by the proposed alerting system, potential performance issues being experienced by the storage system may be more efficiently identified and remediated, for example, by customer service/support, the customer, or possibly by automated storage system (on-box) functionality.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A method comprising: performing real-time monitoring of system metrics of a storage system to obtain information indicative of a number of storage protocol connections between a host system running a workload and a storage device of the storage system during a predetermined or configurable time period by polling an application programming interface (API) exposed by the storage system; generating a connection count for each of one or more bucketed slidin…
