Abstract

Provided is a management system for managing a relation between a database and a volume without installing an agent. A management system manages a relation between a data catalog and a volume of a storage system storing data to be used by the data catalog. A processor of the management system accesses data that is included in the data catalog and that includes authentication information of the volume; detects the number of accesses to the volume in a time range including a timing of the access to the data; and manages the relation between the data catalog and the volume on the basis of the number of accesses.

Claims (28)

1. A management system, the management system comprising:

a processor, wherein the processor is configured to:

identify a volume storing data to be used by a database on a basis of a number of accesses;

access data that is included in the database and that includes login authentication information of the volume;

detect the number of accesses to the volume in a time range including a timing of the access to the data that is included in the database; and

manage a relation between the database and the volume on a basis of the number of accesses, for implementing in data management through end-to-end data flow visualization, without installing an agent on a customer environment,

wherein the relation is determined by utilizing existing information from management software including a database catalog and storage performance without applying the login authentication information of the volume; and

identify, based on the managing of the relation, a volume to which the number of accesses is increased in a range as the volume storing the data to be used by the database.

2. The management system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to access the data including the authentication information of a volume by initiating a readout request of the data and/or issuing a data preview command to the data.

3. The management system according to claim 1 , wherein the number of accesses is at least one of an input/output per second (IOPS), a transfer rate, and a cache hit ratio for a volume.

4. The management system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to manage the relation between the database and a volume on a basis of an anomaly score of the volume based on the number of accesses.

5. The management system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to access the database catalog of the database including the authentication information of a volume.

6. The management system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to detect a period during which the database and a volume have low loads, and to access the data including the authentication information of the volume in the period.

7. The management system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to generate data for displaying a graphical user interface (GUI) configured to visualize the relation between the database and the volume.

8. A method for management by a management system, the method for management comprising:

identifying, by a processor, a volume storing data to be used by a database on a basis of a number of accesses;

accessing, by the processor, data that is included in the database and that includes login authentication information of the volume;

detecting, by the processor, the number of accesses to the volume in a time range including a timing of the accessing to the data that is included in the database; and

managing, by the processor, a relation between the database and the volume on a basis of the number of accesses, for implementing in data management through end-to-end data flow visualization, without installing an agent on a customer environment,

wherein the relation is determined by utilizing existing information from management software including a database catalog and storage performance without applying the login authentication information of the volume; and

identifying, based on the managing of the relation, a volume to which the number of accesses is increased in a range as the volume storing the data to be used by the database.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium encoded with a computer program, wherein the computer program, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to:

identify a volume storing data to be used by a database on a basis of a number of accesses;

access data that is included in the database and that includes login authentication information of the volume;

detect the number of accesses to the volume in a time range including a timing of the access to the data that is included in the database; and

manage a relation between the database and the volume on a basis of the number of accesses, for implementing in data management through end-to-end data flow visualization, without installing an agent on a customer environment,

wherein the relation is determined by utilizing existing information from management software including a database catalog and storage performance without applying the login authentication information of the volume; and

identify, based on the managing of the relation, a volume to which the number of accesses is increased in a range as the volume storing the data to be used by the database.
