One example method includes, within a microservice architecture: (i) obtaining, via a monitor engine, a resource utilization associated with a set of parameters for each microservice within a consistency group, wherein each microservice within the consistency group is associated with a particular distributed operation, and wherein the consistency group defines, for each microservice within the consistency group, one or more threshold values associated with each parameter of the set of parameters, (ii) determining, via an analytical engine, whether resource utilization satisfies a particular threshold of the one or more threshold values associated with a particular parameter of the set of parameters for a particular microservice within the consistency group, and (iii) based upon resource utilization satisfying the particular threshold of the particular parameter for the particular microservice within the consistency group, implementing a self-healing process to selectively modify resource allocation for one or more microservices within the consistency group.

A method for managing a client environment includes obtaining a notification for an auto-generated service request, wherein the auto-generated service request is associated with a configuration of nodes in the client environment, in response to the notification: obtaining metadata associated with the auto-generated service request, analyzing the metadata to extract current node configuration details, comparing the current node configuration details to an node optimization model, making a determination, based on the comparing, that an optimization is required, based on the determination, performing a re-configuration on the nodes in the client environment.

A method for managing a data protection module includes: obtaining client metadata associated with client environment (CE) data protection modules, in which the client metadata includes first product configuration information; obtaining vendor metadata associated with a vendor environment (VE) data protection module, in which the vendor metadata includes second product configuration information; analyzing the client metadata and vendor metadata to extract relevant data; obtaining product features that are commonly utilized by at least one user of the CE data protection modules; making a first determination that a mismatch exists between the client metadata and vendor metadata; generating a ranked list of the product features that are commonly utilized; identifying a product feature that has the highest rank in the ranked list; making a second determination that the mismatch is a vendor-related mismatch; and sending a recommendation to a user of the VE data protection module to manage the mismatch.

One example method includes obtaining hop information of a metadata path for backup metadata, obtaining content sensitivity information indicating a relative sensitivity of backup data to an attack, based on the hop information and the content sensitivity information, selecting an encryption to be applied to the backup metadata, and applying the encryption to the backup metadata. The backup data may be encrypted with the same encryption algorithm that was used to encrypt the backup metadata.

Embodiments for an intelligent log analysis and retention for microservices applications. Such log analysis is helpful in troubleshooting failure conditions that may occur intermittently or repeatedly within a microservices environment. Executed operations by microservices, applications, or components generate logs, and these logs are classified based on certain parameters. A default log retention period defines how long the logs are stored in the system, and a log analytical engine determines and assigns weights constituting additional retention time to keep logs for failed operations. These logs can then be analyzed to determine causes of the failure, and build failure models to predict future failure conditions. Logs for successful operations can be timely deleted to save storage space.

A method for performing a backup operation includes obtaining, by a backup server, a backup request, wherein the backup request specifies a virtual machine to be backed up, wherein the virtual machine is hosted by a production host, and in response to the backup request: obtaining classification data from the backup agent, initiating a backup classification on an unprocessed backup associated with the virtual machine based on the classification data to obtain a sensitivity tag, and initiating a data processing on the unprocessed backup based on the sensitivity tag.

In general, in one aspect, the invention relates to a method for enabling enhanced logging. The method includes obtaining a log associated with a job; determining, using the log, that enhanced logging is to be enabled prior to initiating the job; enabling, in response to the determination, enhanced logging on at least one node, and initiating servicing of the job, after the enabling, on the at least one node.

Intelligently determining when to perform enhanced logging

A log generated over a time period of garbage collection cycles of a microservice is reviewed. The log includes garbage collection events and pause times for each event. A determination is made that a threshold number of consecutive garbage collection events has been reached where each consecutive event had a pause time exceeding a threshold pause time. Upon the determination, a change is made to a configuration file associated with the microservice to reduce the pause times for a next time period. Once the microservice enters an idle state, a command is generated to restart the microservice for the change in the configuration file to take effect.

A method and system for source versus target metadata-based data integrity checking. Concerning backup operations directed to protecting given data, said given data may be subjected to corruption detection at the source prior to initiating a backup operation, however, said given data may not be checked for data integrity following transfer of said given data to a target storage medium prior to committing the said given data thereto. That is, at least presently, the prospect of data corruption compromising given data during the time window through which the given data journeys, usually via a network, from its source to a target storage medium, is often overlooked. The disclosed method and system, accordingly, propose a scheme directed to detecting corruption amongst data transferred from a source to a target storage medium, and handling said data given the determined integrity of said data.
