A data processing system for processing requests for features at a file collaboration platform implements receiving, at the file collaboration platform, a request from a client device to invoke a requested service on one or more files, wherein the requested service is associated with a feature provided by the file collaboration platform; determining a current operating status of the file collaboration platform; obtaining a feature-specific policy associated with the feature associated with the request; determining whether the requested service is allowed by the file collaboration platform based on the current operating status of the file collaboration platform and the feature-specific policy associated with the feature; allocating capacity to the request at the file collaboration platform for performing the request responsive to determining that the requested service is allowed; and sending a first message to the client device indicating that the client device may invoke the requested service.

Framework for allowing complementary workloads/processes to bring in heavy load on a file collaboration platform

A histogram slider application accesses, from a data storage of a machine, file activities performed on the machine as a function of time. The histogram slider application determines points in time at which a level of file activities exceeds an activity level threshold that is based on historical levels of file activities on the machine. The histogram slider application generates a graphical user interface comprising a histogram indicative of the file activities over time and the determined points in time, a slider configured to move along a timeline that is parallel to the histogram, and a list of file activities corresponding to a first position of the slider on the timeline, the first position indicating a first time on the histogram.
