Abstract

Disclosed techniques facilitate the analysis of computing resource usage by data management objects, such as information lifecycle management objects. A selection of one or more data management objects is received, where each object abstracts underlying data storage entities, such as database tables or views. The selection may be based on user input specifying search terms, including business area identifiers, or direct object selection. The system identifies storage entities associated with the selected objects and determines a resource use footprint by obtaining memory usage data. When available, snapshot data is retrieved; otherwise, real-time computation is performed based on record count and storage allocation statistics. A user interface displays resource use data and enables user-specified adjustments to object residence time or allocated computing resources. Adjustments may trigger migration of data from memory to persistent storage or modification of storage parameters to optimize data residence and resource allocation.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A computing system comprising:

at least one memory;
one or more hardware processor units coupled to the at least one memory;
and
one or more computer readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:
receiving a selection of one or more data management objects for analysis to provide one or more selected data management objects, wherein given data management objects of the one or more data management objects are associated with one or more data storage entities storing data corresponding to the given data management, and the selection comprises at least one of:
(i) a direct selection of one or more data management objects by a user;
or
(ii) user input specifying one or more search terms, wherein the search terms are used to identify one or more data management objects;
identifying the one or more data storage entities corresponding to the one or more selected data management objects to provide one or more identified data storage entities;
determining a computer resource use footprint for the one or more selected data management objects by obtaining memory usage data for the one or more identified data storage entities, wherein obtaining memory usage data comprises one or more of:
(i) retrieving memory usage data from a snapshot when valid snapshot data is available for at least one data management object of the one or more selected data management objects in place of computing memory usage data in real time;
or
(ii) computing memory usage data in real time when valid snapshot data is unavailable or incomplete for at least one data management object of the one or more selected data management objects;
causing a user interface to be rendered displaying information regarding the computer resource use footprint;
through the user interface, receiving user input specifying one or more of:
(1) an adjustment to a residence time for at least one data management object of the one or more data management objects;
or
(2) an adjustment to computer resources allocated to at least one data management object of the one or more data management objects.

15 more elements

A method, implemented in a computing system comprising at least one hardware processor and at least one memory coupled to the at least one hardware processor, the method comprising:

receiving a selection of one or more data management objects for analysis to provide one or more selected data management objects, wherein given data management objects of the one or more data management objects are associated with one or more data storage entities storing data corresponding to the given data management, and the selection comprises at least one of:
(i) a direct selection of one or more data management objects by a user;
or
(ii) user input specifying one or more search terms, wherein the search terms are used to identify one or more data management objects;
identifying the one or more data storage entities corresponding to the one or more selected data management objects to provide one or more identified data storage entities;
determining a computer resource use footprint for the one or more selected data management objects by obtaining memory usage data for the one or more identified data storage entities, wherein obtaining memory usage data comprises computing memory usage data in real time when valid snapshot data is unavailable or incomplete for at least one data management object of the one or more selected data management objects;
causing a user interface to be rendered displaying information regarding the computer resource use footprint;
through the user interface, receiving user input specifying one or more of:
(1) an adjustment to a residence time for at least one data management object of the one or more data management objects;
or
(2) an adjustment to computer resources allocated to at least one data management object of the one or more data management objects.

8 more elements

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media comprising:

computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computing system comprising at least one hardware processor and at least one memory coupled to the at least one hardware processor, cause the computing system to receive a selection of one or more data management objects for analysis to provide one or more selected data management objects, wherein given data management objects of the one or more data management objects are associated with one or more data storage entities storing data corresponding to the given data management, and the selection comprises at least one of:
(i) a direct selection of one or more data management objects by a user;
or
(ii) user input specifying one or more search terms, wherein the search terms are used to identify one or more data management objects;
computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the computing system, cause the computing system to identify the one or more data storage entities corresponding to the one or more selected data management objects to provide one or more identified data storage entities;
computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the computing system, cause the computing system to determine a computer resource use footprint for the one or more selected data management objects by obtaining memory usage data for the one or more identified data storage entities, wherein obtaining memory usage data comprises one or more of:
(i) retrieving memory usage data from a snapshot when valid snapshot data is available for at least one data management object of the one or more selected data management objects in place of computing memory usage data in real time;
or
(ii) computing memory usage data in real time when valid snapshot data is unavailable or incomplete for at least one data management object of the one or more selected data management objects;
computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the computing system, cause the computing system to cause a user interface to be rendered displaying information regarding the computer resource use footprint;
computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the computing system, cause the computing system to, through the user interface, receive user input specifying one or more of:
(1) an adjustment to a residence time for at least one data management object of the one or more data management objects;
or
(2) an adjustment to computer resources allocated to at least one data management object of the one or more data management objects.
