Abstract
Techniques are provided for identifying anomalous portions of input/output (I/O) paths by monitoring checkpoints of I/O operations through a storage system. One method comprises obtaining checkpoint data associated with designated storage volumes in a storage system that comprises designated storage system components. The checkpoint data may be associated with multiple I/O operations that are processed by the designated storage system components and the checkpoint data for a given I/O operation may comprise checkpoint times indicating respective times that the given I/O operation is processed by a corresponding designated storage system component. A time difference between two checkpoint times may be evaluated to identify anomalous portions of an I/O path between the designated storage system components associated with the two checkpoint times. One or more automated actions may be performed related to the designated storage system components associated with the anomalous portions of the I/O path.
