Abstract: Disclosed are a storage system, and a method and an apparatus for allocating storage resources. In the storage system, a target management node allocates a target storage node to a monitoring device according to a first storage request; the target storage node allocates a target storage volume to the monitoring device according to a second storage request, allocates a target block group from the target storage volume to the monitoring device, acquires monitoring data in the form of a data stream from the monitoring device, and stores the monitoring data in the target block group. The storage system may select a management node from a management cluster to allocate a storage node to a monitoring device, and the storage node may allocate a storage position to the monitoring device. The storage position that is allocated to monitoring data can be determined by the management node and the storage node hierarchically.
