Abstract
Notification routines are described for implementation by a monitoring service. As part of an exemplary notification routine, a faulty storage volume is correlated at multiple logical storage levels of a storage system with other faulty storage volumes. The correlation pattern can follow a tree-based decision format, where each faulty storage volume is sequentially compared at a lower logical storage level. Advantageously, once a common logical storage component of a group of storage volumes is identified, a notification is issued about the group of faulty storage volumes sharing the common logical storage component. Additionally, notifications can be issued according to a severity level of the group of faulty storage volumes. In some embodiments, before issuing the notification, the group of faulty storage volumes can be compared to a time allowed for the group of faulty storage volume to be at fault.
