DATA LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT

摘要

Data lifecycle management is performed by managing metrics from a monitored system. A fault is identified from the monitored system. One or more metrics that are directly related to the fault and one or more metrics that are indirectly related to the fault by virtue of being directly or indirectly related to the one or more directly related metrics are identified and stored in a memory. A lifespan condition associated with the fault is identified. A lifespan for each of the directly and indirectly related metrics based on the identified lifespan condition is added or changed. A metric that is critically related to another metric will inherit the same lifespan, and a metric that is related but not critically related to another metric will not inherit the other metric's lifespan. Metrics are removed from the memory if their associated lifespans are over.

1. A method for managing metrics from a monitored system comprising:
identifying a fault from the monitored system; storing in a memory and identifying from the monitored system, one or more metrics that are directly related to the fault and one or more metrics that are indirectly related to the fault by virtue of being directly or indirectly related to the one or more directly related metrics; identifying a lifespan condition associated with the fault; adding or changing a lifespan for each of the directly and indirectly related metrics based on the identified lifespan condition, wherein a metric that is critically related to another metric will inherit the same lifespan, and wherein a metric that is related but not critically related to another metric will not inherit the another metric's lifespan; and removing metrics from the memory if their associated lifespans are over.
