DATAFLOW ALERTS FOR AN INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

摘要

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for managing information management operations. The system may be configured to employ a work flow queue to reduce network traffic and manage server processing resources. The system may also be configured to forecast or estimate information management operations based on estimations of throughput between computing devices scheduled to execute one or more jobs. The system may also be configured to escalate or automatically reassign notification of system alerts based on the availability of system alert recipients. Various other embodiments are also disclosed herein.

1. At least one non-transitory, computer-readable medium carrying instruction, which when executed by at least one data processing device, assist in notifying a user of a forecast for an information management system operation failure in an information management system, comprising:
obtaining or determining parameters of the information management system operation failure,
wherein obtaining or determining the parameters includes receiving—
a) a type of information management system operation to be performed between a first computing device and a second computing device,b) a schedule time period for completion of the information management system operation, andc) a throughput estimation;wherein the throughput estimation is between the first computing device and the second computing device,wherein the throughput estimation is a rate of transferring data per unit time between a non-volatile storage device for the first computing device and a storage device for the second computing device, andwherein the throughput estimation is derived from a throughput estimation technique related to one or more information management system operations previously executed by the first computing device and the second computing device in the information management system; determining whether an information management system operation is capable of being completed within the schedule time period, including:
estimating a size or amount of data to be transferred between the first computing device and the second computing device to execute the received type of information management system operation,estimating a duration for the received type of information management system operation based on the estimated size or amount of data to be transferred and based on the estimated throughput between the first computing device and the second computing device, andcomparing a duration of the schedule time period with the estimated duration for the received type of information management system operation; and before or during execution of the received type of information management system operation, notifying the user of a failure forecast for the information management system operation if, based on the comparing, the estimated duration for the received type of information management system operation is greater than the duration of the schedule time period.
