Abstract

A method, computer program product, and computing system for generating a tagged telemetry data portion concerning a storage system. The tagged telemetry data is processed via one or more heath check microservices to generate one or more tagged health packets. The one or more tagged health packets are processed via one or more health awareness microservices to generate one or more health awareness results.

Claims (47)

1. A computer-implemented method, executed on a computing device, comprising:

receiving of telemetry data from the storage system, wherein the telemetry data includes, at least in part, data related to at least one of availability and unavailability of a storage device;

processing the telemetry data via one or more health check microservices;

analyzing the telemetry data via the one or more health check microservices, wherein analyzing the telemetry data comprises analyzing one or more of one or more hardware components of the storage system, one or more RAID groups of the storage system, one or more storage pools of the storage system, and a connectivity status of a host configured to the storage system;

generating based upon, at least in part, the results of analyzing the telemetry data, one or more health packets; and

processing the one or more health packets via one or more health awareness microservices to generate one or more health awareness results concerning the storage system.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 further comprising:

receiving a plurality of untagged telemetry data portions from the storage system.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 wherein further comprising:

tagging an untagged telemetry data portion, chosen from the received plurality of untagged telemetry data portions, to generate a tagged telemetry data portion.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 further comprising:

tagging a fictional telemetry data portion to generate a tagged telemetry data portion.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 further comprising:

comparing the one or more health awareness results to one or more anticipated results to assess the functionality of the one or more health check microservices and/or the one or more health awareness microservices.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein the received telemetry data includes a tagged telemetry data packet.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein the received telemetry data is configured to exercise one or more of the health check microservices and/or one or more of the health awareness microservices.

8. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving of telemetry data from the storage system, wherein the telemetry data includes, at least in part, data related to at least one of availability and unavailability of a storage device;

processing the telemetry data via one or more health check microservices;

analyzing the telemetry data via the one or more health check microservices, wherein analyzing the telemetry data comprises analyzing one or more of one or more hardware components of the storage system, one or more RAID groups of the storage system, one or more storage pools of the storage system, and a connectivity status of a host configured to the storage system;

generating based upon, at least in part, the results of analyzing the telemetry data, one or more packets; and

processing the one or more packets via one or more health awareness microservices to generate one or more health awareness results concerning the storage system.

9. The computer program product of claim 8 further comprising:

receiving a plurality of untagged telemetry data portions from the storage system.

10. The computer program product of claim 9 wherein further comprising:

tagging an untagged telemetry data portion, chosen from the received plurality of untagged telemetry data portions, to generate a tagged telemetry data portion.

11. The computer program product of claim 9 wherein further comprising:

tagging a fictional telemetry data portion to generate a tagged telemetry data portion.

12. The computer program product of claim 8 further comprising:

comparing the one or more health awareness results to one or more anticipated results to assess the functionality of the one or more health check microservices and/or the one or more health awareness microservices.

13. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein the received telemetry data includes a tagged telemetry data packet.

14. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein the received telemetry data is configured to exercise one or more of the health check microservices and/or one or more of the health awareness microservices.

15. A computing system including a hardware processor and memory configured to perform operations comprising:

receiving of telemetry data from the storage system, wherein the telemetry data includes, at least in part, data related to at least one of availability and unavailability of a storage device;

processing the telemetry data via one or more health check microservices;

analyzing the telemetry data via the one or more health check microservices, wherein analyzing the telemetry data comprises analyzing one or more of one or more hardware components of the storage system, one or more RAID groups of the storage system, one or more storage pools of the storage system, and a connectivity status of a host configured to the storage system; and

processing the analyzed telemetry data via one or more health awareness microservices to generate one or more health awareness results concerning the storage system.

16. The computing system of claim 15 further configured to perform operations comprising:

receiving a plurality of untagged telemetry data portions from the storage system.

17. The computing system of claim 16 wherein 2 wherein further comprising:

tagging an untagged telemetry data portion, chosen from the received plurality of untagged telemetry data portions, to generate a tagged telemetry data portion.

18. The computing system of claim 16 further comprising:

tagging a fictional telemetry data portion to generate a tagged telemetry data portion.

19. The computing system of claim 15 further configured to perform operations comprising:

comparing the one or more health awareness results to one or more anticipated results to assess the functionality of the one or more health check microservices and/or the one or more health awareness microservices.

20. The computing system of claim 15 wherein the received telemetry data includes a tagged telemetry data packet.

21. The computing system of claim 15 wherein the received telemetry data is configured to exercise one or more of the health check microservices and/or one or more of the health awareness microservices.
