Abstract: A technique of processing storage cluster performance metrics involves obtaining access to performance metrics from storage appliances of a storage cluster, the performance metrics identifying performance for storage objects managed by the storage appliances. The technique further involves, after access to the performance metrics is obtained, disregarding a duplicate set of performance metrics for a storage object that migrates from a first storage appliance of the storage cluster to a second storage appliance of the storage cluster. The technique further involves, after the duplicate set of performance metrics is disregarded, archiving the performance metrics to an archive. After archiving the performance metrics to the archive, the technique may provide a performance analysis based on the performance metrics from the archive as well as adjust operation of the storage cluster according to the performance analysis.

Abstract: A technique performs file-based time series management. The technique involves initiating a recordation operation that records a source-provided time series in rows of a row-formatted file. The technique further involves, after the recordation operation is initiated, encountering a conversion event. The technique further involves, in response to encountering the conversion event, performing a conversion operation that converts the source-provided time series recorded in the rows of the row-formatted file into a file-provided time series and saving the file-provided time series in columns of a column-formatted file.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing system for deploying an agent configured to communicate with a centralized database and a plurality of remote databases. The plurality of remote databases may be polled, via the agent, for data for storage in the centralized database. The data may be consolidated from the plurality of remote databases to the centralized database.
