Abstract: Methods, computing systems and computer program products implement embodiments of the present invention that include initializing, by a processor executing a file system in communication with a block manager managing multiple storage regions on a storage device, a file system write cache to have a default cache size, the default cache size corresponding to a first storage capacity of a default number of the storage regions. Upon detecting that a current number of the storage regions that are not in use by the block manager is less than the default number, the file system write cache is resized to a reduced cache size that corresponds to a second storage capacity of the current number of the storage regions. While the file system write cache has the reduced cache size, the file system write cache can be resized back to the default cache size as unused storage regions become available.

Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to learning how to efficiently display anomalies in performance data to an operator. In particular, it relates to assembling performance data for a multiplicity of metrics across a multiplicity of resources on a network and training a classifier that implements at least one circumstance-specific detector used to monitor a time series of performance data or to detect patterns in the time series. The training includes producing a time series of anomaly event candidates including corresponding event information used as input to the detectors, generating feature vectors for the anomaly event candidates, selecting a subset of the candidates as anomalous instance data, and using the feature vectors for the anomalous instance data and implicit and/or explicit feedback from users exposed to a visualization of the monitored time series annotated with visual tags for at least some of the anomalous instances data to train the classifier.
