Methods, systems, and machine-readable medium are disclosed for creating and providing dynamic hierarchical navigation schemes in storage management systems. A mapping data structure is maintained to store hierarchical relationship mapping within a storage management system, allowing users to customize their interactions with the storage system. The method, includes receiving a user-defined navigation preference to view an attribute of a second storage object from a navigation screen defined for a first storage object; updating a mapping data structure for storing a hierarchical relationship of a second storage object, based on the user-defined navigation preference; and presenting the attribute of the second storage object at the navigation screen for the first storage object.

Dynamic hierarchical navigation schemes for storage management systems

Example embodiments provide various techniques for collecting data associated with the performance of a storage system. In one method, an attribute associated with the storage system is detected and a data collection policy associated with the attribute is identified. Here, the data collection policy defines a type of data associated with the performance to be collected. With the data collection policy identified, the data are then collected based on the data collection policy.
