Described herein are methods, systems and machine-readable media that facilitate an analysis of the contributing factors of storage system latency. The variation over time of the storage system latency is measured, along with the variation over time of the activity of various processes and/or components, the various processes and/or components being potentially contributing factors to the storage system latency. The latency measurements are correlated with the process and/or component measurements. High correlation, while not providing direct evidence of the causation of latency, is nevertheless used to identify likely factors (i.e., processes, components) contributing to latency. The latency measurements are plotted over time, the plot including supplemental information indicating, at any time instant, likely factors contributing to the storage system latency.
A method for determining and deploying an upgrade to a storage system, comprising:
An analysis server for processing measurements taken by one or more sensors instrumented on a storage system, the analysis server comprising:
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising software instructions that, when executed by a processor of an analysis server, cause the processor to:
