Abstract
A method for execution by dispersed storage network (DSN) monitoring unit that includes a processor includes receiving configuration parameters via an interface of the DSN monitoring unit. A configuration update request is generated for transmission to a plurality of managing units based on the configuration parameters. Collected storage unit data is received from each of the plurality of managing units. Aggregated storage statistics are generated based on the collected storage unit data received from each of the plurality of managing units.
Claims20
A method for execution by a dispersed storage network (DSN) monitoring unit that includes a processor, the method comprises:
- receiving configuration parameters via an interface of the DSN monitoring unit;
- generating a configuration update request for transmission to a plurality of managing units based on the configuration parameters;
- receiving collected storage unit data from each of the plurality of managing units that includes data collected from a proper subset of a plurality of storage units managed by the each of the plurality of managing units, wherein the proper subset is based on the configuration update request;
- and
- generating aggregated storage statistics based on the collected storage unit data received from each of the plurality of managing units.
(canceled)
A processing system of a dispersed storage network (DSN) monitoring unit comprises:
- at least one processor;
- a memory that stores operational instructions, that when executed by the at least one processor cause the processing system to:
- receive configuration parameters via an interface of the DSN monitoring unit;
- generate a configuration update request for transmission to a plurality of managing units based on the configuration parameters;
- receive collected storage unit data from each of the plurality of managing units that includes data collected from a proper subset of a plurality of storage units managed by the each of the plurality of managing units, wherein the proper subset is based on the configuration update request;
- and
- generate aggregated storage statistics based on the collected storage unit data received from each of the plurality of managing units.
(canceled)
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprises:
- at least one memory section that stores operational instructions that, when executed by a processing system of a dispersed storage network (DSN) that includes a processor and a memory, causes the processing system to:
- receive configuration parameters;
- generate a configuration update request for transmission to a plurality of managing units based on the configuration parameters;
- receive collected storage unit data from each of the plurality of managing units that includes data collected from a proper subset of a plurality of storage units managed by the each of the plurality of managing units, wherein the proper subset is based on the configuration update request;
- and
- generate aggregated storage statistics based on the collected storage unit data received from each of the plurality of managing units.
