Abstract:
1. An information handling system comprising: a processor; a memory communicatively coupled to the processor; and an information storage device communicatively coupled to the processor via an input/output (I/O) bus for communicating I/O data between the processor and the information storage device, the information storage device configured to receive a specification of reporting criteria for a plurality of information storage device parameters, to receive a specification of logical relationships for the reporting criteria, to monitor information storage device parameter values for the information storage device parameters, to compare the information storage device parameter values to the reporting criteria to obtain indications of whether the reporting criteria have been satisfied, to apply hysteresis to the indications, to apply the logical relationships to the indications and, in response to the logical relationships applied to the indications yielding a first result, to transmit an alert notification to the processor.
