Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: receiving alerts/events from components of a cloud storage system comprising fabric switches, fabric interconnects, storage arrays, platform applications, storage layer components, arrays, logical storage, and virtual machines; processing, using a computer processor, raw data for the alerts/events; performing alert/event identification with information from an identity matching service for the components of the cloud storage system to generate a resource identifier for the component associated with a first one of the processed alerts/events; using the resource identifier to identify a service, platform, virtual machine, virtual application, virtual data center, organization and/or platform component associated with the first one of the processed alerts/events; wherein a first one of the components is identified in at least two of a storage domain, a network domain, a computing domain, and a virtualization domain; performing cross domain matching between the at least two domains; and enriching the alert/event with a logical service to provide a context within the logical service.
