Abstract
Systems and methods are described providing detailed input/output (I/O) metric information that is collected and gathered by an agent of the storage volume. An I/O request is received by a storage volume, and the agent associates primary and secondary identifiers with that I/O request. For example, a trace may be associated with that I/O request. The agent may store this I/O metric information in a ring buffer. Further, after collection and aggregation, statistics may be published by an I/O metric service that further processes the data provided by the agent. Advantageously, interdependent relationships associated with the I/O request or I/O operations of that request may be included in those statistics. This may allow an operator to evaluate the performance of I/O requests for a network.
