  • Methods and systems for real-time activity tracing in a storage environment
    Patent number: 9779004
    Abstract: Systems and methods for efficient input/output (I/O) workload capture are provided. For example, in one aspect, a machine implemented method includes: opening a network socket for listening to a connection request from a computing device; accepting the connection request from the computing device over the network socket; enabling selective data collection based on a network connection with the computing device over the network socket, where the network connection based selective data collection includes obtaining information regarding a plurality of input/output (I/O) requests and responses and performance information of a storage server for processing the I/O requests; sub-sampling the network connection based collected data; and sending at least a portion of the network connection based collected data over the network socket connection to the computing device.
