Abstract
A method performed by a computing system, includes executing an application, using a data call to an Application Programming Interface, the data call requesting access to a file stored on a storage system associated with the computing system, with a context extraction module, determining contextual information associated with the data call, through use of a library, causing a kernel to access the file according to the data call, storing the contextual information on the storage system, and performing an analysis on the contextual information, the analysis including determining an average size of a call stack when the data was accessed.
Claims20
A method performed by a computing system, the method comprising:
- executing an application;
- with the application, using a data call to an Application Programming Interface (API), the data call requesting access to a file stored on a storage system associated with the computing system;
- with a context extraction module, determining contextual information associated with the data call;
- through use of a library, causing a kernel to access the file according to the data call;
- storing the contextual information on the storage system;
- and
- performing an analysis on the contextual information to detect trends, the analysis including determining an average size of a call stack when the data was accessed.
A method performed by a computing system, the method comprising:
- receiving a file access request from an application running on the computing system, where a file corresponding to the file access request is stored on a storage system associated with the computing system;
- intercepting the file access request to determine a current state of a call stack;
- storing the current state on the storage system;
- and
- performing an analysis on the current state to detect trends, the analysis including determining an average size of the call stack when the file was accessed.
A method performed by a computing system, the method comprising:
- receiving a file access request from an application running on the computing system, where a file corresponding to the file access request is stored on a storage system associated with the computing system;
- intercepting the file access request to determine a current state of a call stack;
- allowing the application to perform at least one of a read or a write operation on the file;
- storing the current state on the storage system;
- and
- performing an analysis on the current state to detect trends, the analysis including determining an average number of read and write operations performed on the file.
