Abstract
There are disclosed herein techniques for use in acquiring data storage metrics. The techniques comprise monitoring an I/O operation relating to data storage. The techniques also comprise producing a metric value in connection with the I/O operation. The techniques also comprise determining a current metric value associated with a memory location in an operating system kernel. The techniques also comprise performing a computation to generate a new metric value. The computation is based on the metric value and the current metric value. The techniques further comprise storing the new metric value in the memory location in the operating system kernel.
