Abstract
A storage system management application receives reports describing operation of a storage system from a performance monitoring system, and compares the storage system operating metrics against a set of respective thresholds. If the metrics breach one or more thresholds, the seasonality boundaries for the respective metric are calculated, and an alert is only generated if the storage system operating metric is both outside the performance threshold and outside of the calculated seasonality boundaries. By determining the seasonality boundaries and using the seasonality boundaries to determine when to generate alerts, it is possible to reduce the number of alerts generated. By including the seasonality values in the alerts, the deviation from normal seasonably operating conditions can be determined from the alert, thus enabling a person who receives the alert to determine the magnitude of deviation of the storage system operation from seasonably adjusted normal operation.
