Analysis system and method
A method, computer program product, and computing system for receiving temporal telemetry data portions concerning one or more elements of a storage system. A health score is assigned to the temporal telemetry data portions and a reliability score is assigned to the health score.
1. A computer-implemented method, executed on a computing device, comprising:
receiving temporal telemetry data portions concerning one or more elements of a storage system;
generating one or more health packets, wherein generating the one or more health packets includes generating one or more health awareness results, the one or more health awareness results including a health score;
assigning the health score to the temporal telemetry data portions;
assigning a reliability score to the health score; and
in the event that the reliability score falls below a predefined level, analyzing the quality of a link with the storage system.
2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 further comprising:
determining an actual receipt frequency for the temporal telemetry data portions.
3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 further comprising:
determining an intended receipt frequency for the temporal telemetry data portions.
4. The computer-implemented method of claim 3 wherein assigning a reliability score to the health score includes:
comparing the actual receipt frequency to the intended receipt frequency.
5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein the temporal telemetry data portions includes one or more of: performance data; configuration data; and S.M.A.R.T. data.
6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein analyzing the quality of the link with the storage system, includes:
monitoring for the receipt of heartbeat signals broadcast by the storage system; and
recording the receipt of the heartbeat signals from the storage system.
7. A computer program product residing on 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 temporal telemetry data portions concerning one or more elements of a storage system;
generating one or more health packets, wherein generating the one or more health packets includes generating one or more health awareness results, the one or more health awareness results including a health score;
assigning the health score to the temporal telemetry data portions;
assigning a reliability score to the health score; and
in the event that the reliability score falls below a predefined level, analyzing the quality of a link with the storage system.
8. The computer program product of claim 7 further comprising:
determining an actual receipt frequency for the temporal telemetry data portions.
9. The computer program product of claim 8 further comprising:
determining an intended receipt frequency for the temporal telemetry data portions.
10. The computer program product of claim 9 wherein assigning a reliability score to the health score includes:
comparing the actual receipt frequency to the intended receipt frequency.
11. The computer program product of claim 7 wherein the temporal telemetry data portions includes one or more of: performance data; configuration data; and S.M.A.R.T. data.
12. The computer program product of claim 7 wherein analyzing the quality of the link with the storage system, includes:
monitoring for the receipt of heartbeat signals broadcast by the storage system; and
recording the receipt of the heartbeat signals from the storage system.
13. A computing system including a processor and memory configured to perform operations comprising:
receiving temporal telemetry data portions concerning one or more elements of a storage system;
generating one or more health packets, wherein generating the one or more health packets includes generating one or more health awareness results, the one or more health awareness results including a health score;
assigning the health score to the temporal telemetry data portions;
assigning a reliability score to the health score; and
in the event that the reliability score falls below a predefined level, analyzing the quality of a link with the storage system.
14. The computing system of claim 13 further configured to perform operations comprising:
determining an actual receipt frequency for the temporal telemetry data portions.
15. The computing system of claim 14 further configured to perform operations comprising:
determining an intended receipt frequency for the temporal telemetry data portions.
16. The computing system of claim 15 wherein assigning a reliability score to the health score includes:
comparing the actual receipt frequency to the intended receipt frequency.
17. The computing system of claim 13 wherein the temporal telemetry data portions includes one or more of: performance data; configuration data; and S.M.A.R.T. data.
18. The computing system of claim 13 wherein analyzing the quality of the link with the storage system, includes:
monitoring for the receipt of heartbeat signals broadcast by the storage system; and
recording the receipt of the heartbeat signals from the storage system.
