1. An apparatus comprising:
a storage management server configured to manage a storage array comprising a plurality of tangible data storage devices and a plurality of compute nodes, each compute node comprising at least one processor and memory, wherein the compute nodes present at least one production volume to a host application, the production volume being backed by the tangible data storage devices, the storage management server comprising program code stored on non-transitory computer-readable memory and including instructions that calculate a health score for the storage array based on alerts that indicate status changes of an object or hardware associated with the storage array, the program code comprising instructions responsive to receipt of a new alert to:
match the object or hardware identified in the new alert to the object or hardware identified in an existing alert;
calculate Jaro-Winkler distance between the new alert and the matched existing alert; and
responsive to a determination that the Jaro-Winkler distance between the new alert and the matched existing alert is greater than or equal to 0.9, delete the matched existing alert and update the health score.
