Abstract
Provided herein are systems and methods of tracing data. A tracing engine may receive, via the user interface, a selection of a target file or an event involving the target file. The tracing engine may generate, responsive to receiving the selection, a trace of first data in the target file to a plurality of file instances in a network each having at least one version of the first data. Each of the plurality of file instances may be related to at least the target file or another of the plurality of file instances via at least one file operation or data operation. The tracing engine may render, via a user interface, the generated trace.
Claims20
A system for tracing data, the system comprising:
- a user interface;
- and
- a tracing engine executable on at least one processor, the tracing engine configured to:
- receive, via the user interface, a selection of a target file or an event involving the target file;
- generate, responsive to receiving the selection, a trace of first data in the target file to a plurality of file instances in a network each having at least one version of the first data, each of the plurality of file instances related to at least the target file or another of the plurality of file instances via at least one file operation or data operation;
- and
- render, via the user interface, the generated trace.
A method of tracing data, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a tracing engine via a user interface, a selection of a target file or an event involving the target file;
- generating, by the tracing engine responsive to receiving the selection, a trace of first data in the target file to a plurality of file instances in a network each having at least one version of the first data, each of the plurality of file instances related to at least the target file or another of the plurality of file instances via at least one file operation or data operation;
- and
- rendering, by the tracing engine in the user interface, the generated trace.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing program instructions for causing one or more processors to:
- receive, via a user interface, a selection of a target file or an event involving the target file;
- generate, responsive to receiving the selection, a trace of first data in the target file to a plurality of file instances in a network each having at least one version of the first data, each of the plurality of file instances related to at least the target file or another of the plurality of file instances via at least one file operation or data operation;
- and
- render, via the user interface, the generated trace.
