Patent ID: 8639989

Claim:
A method, comprising: receiving, at a gateway control component of a service provider network, status information from a storage gateway process executing on a client network, wherein the storage gateway process provides an interface between one or more client processes on the client network and a storage service provided by the service provider network for accessing client data maintained on a remote data store by the storage service, and wherein the status information indicates values for one or more operational metrics of the storage gateway process; storing the received status information to a status data store on the service provider network; analyzing, by a status proxy process on the service provider network, at least one operational metric of the storage gateway process in at least a portion of the status information in the status data store to determine if a threshold condition has occurred for the storage gateway process; and upon determining that a threshold condition has occurred for the storage gateway process, initiating, by the status proxy process, one or more actions to address the threshold condition.
