Abstract:
1. A method comprises: identifying a performance anomaly within a dispersed storage network (DSN); identifying a set of collections of records corresponding to the performance anomaly, wherein a collection of records of the set of collections of records includes: determining, based on at least some of the collection of records of the set of collections of records, whether the performance anomaly is indicative of an undesired performance degradation of the DSN, a de-minimis performance degradation of the DSN, or an undeterminable performance degradation of the DSN; and when the performance anomaly is indicative of the undeterminable performance degradation of the DSN, modifying data collection criteria for one or more of the collection of records of the set of the collections of records such that a determination of the undesired performance degradation of the DSN or the de-minimis performance degradation of the DSN can be rendered regarding the performance anomaly or for subsequent performance anomalies.
