Patent ID: 11782804

Abstract:
A method and system for workload anomaly detection for standalone hosts based on bare-metal recovery and/or state-system recovery data and metadata. In isolated circumstances, workloads tend to operate as expected, however, their behavior and/or functionality may become unpredictable when said workloads are exposed to other factors outside of isolation. Further, most of these other factors, as well as their influence on workload behavior and/or functionality tend to go unnoticed by administrators. Data and/or metadata, pertinent to bare-metal recovery and/or system-state recovery operations, may capture host-relevant information, including which workload(s) is/are installed on a host, which file-system objects maintained thereon belong to which installed workload, and what is the nature and storage location of each file-system object. In leveraging said bare-metal recovery and/or system-state recovery data and/or metadata, embodiments disclosed herein detect behavioral or functional anomalies exhibited by any workload operating on any given host.
