Error detection and remediation for application programming interfaces

An apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-volatile memory storing computer program code that when executed on the processor causes the processor to execute a process including:
• receiving an application programming interface (API) call for information about one or more components of a storage network, the API call received from a client device;
• forwarding the API call to a subsystem of the storage network for processing;
• receiving a response from the subsystem, the response having a status code;
• detecting an error with the processing of the API call by the subsystem based, at least in part, on the status code and on comparing a time taken by the subsystem to process the API call to times taken to process other API calls;
• and
• in response to the detecting of the error, providing a recommendation to the client device to enable remediation of the error.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium encoding instructions that when executed by one or more processors cause a process to be carried out, the process comprising:

• receiving, by a management server of a storage network, an application programming interface (API) call for information about one or more components of the storage network, the API call received from a client device;
• forwarding the API call to a subsystem of the storage network for processing;
• receiving a response from the subsystem, the response having a status code;
• detecting an error with the processing of the API call by the subsystem based, at least in part, on the status code and on comparing a time taken by the subsystem to process the API call to times taken to process other API calls;
• and
• in response to the detecting of the error, providing a recommendation to the client device to enable remediation of the error.
