Abstract
Systems and methods are described for dynamically detecting outliers in a set of input/output (I/O) metrics collected and aggregated by a storage volume network. An I/O request is received by a storage volume network, and an agent of the storage volume network associates primary and secondary identifiers with that I/O request. For example, a trace may be associated with a request to write data to a storage volume network, and spans may be associated with the individual operations required to fulfill that request. Once gathered, I/O metrics may be aggregated based on the associated identifiers. I/O metric information regarding outliers may be received from the storage volume network, processed, and published by an I/O metrics service to identify the outliers among the primary and secondary identifiers. These outliers may then be stored for further analysis, and may be utilized to determine improvements to the performance of a storage volume network.
