Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for generating and utilizing a time-based distribution of I/O latency and other performance characteristics to identify potential device failures in a system that includes storage devices, such as a distributed software-defined storage system. A user interface is implemented that allows users to request and selectively view I/O latency and other data over a configurable time-based or histogram-based distribution. The user interface further enables comparison of the I/O latency distribution to data from other devices in the same class to identify potential failures.
