  • Patent number: 11709619
    Abstract: A data processing method includes receiving a message related to performance of a storage device, the message including an indicator value regarding the performance in a first time period, and a timestamp associated with the first time period. A status record of the storage device, including the number of received indicator values in a second time period including the first time period, is determined based on the timestamp, wherein the number of the received indicator values is less than a threshold number and can be updated based on the indicator value. The performance in the second time period can be determined based on the indicator value and the received indicator values in response to determining that the updated number of the received indicator values reaches the threshold number. Thus, the performance of the storage device can be quickly and accurately determined, and the consumption of computing resources is reduced.
