Correlation and associated display of virtual machine data and storage performance data

摘要

Virtual machine data records are obtained from a virtual system manager that manages one or more virtual machines. Storage data records are obtained from a storage controller. The virtual machine data records include one or more particular virtual machine data records relating to a particular virtual machine and identify a particular volume that is configured for use by the particular virtual machine. The storage data records including one or more particular storage data records that specify performance information associated with the particular volume. Based on information in the particular virtual machine data records and information in the particular storage data records, it is determined that the particular storage data records are related to the particular volume used by the particular virtual machine. Graphical user interface(s) displaying virtual machine information relating to the particular virtual machine in association with volume performance information relating to the particular volume are displayed.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
at one or more data management computers:
obtaining, from a first application programming interface (API) made available by a virtual system manager that manages one or more virtual machines, virtual machine data including particular virtual machine data that relates to a particular virtual machine;obtaining, from a second API made available by a storage controller that manages one or more storage units and that is separate from the virtual system manager, storage data including particular storage data that relates to a particular volume configured for use by the particular virtual machine;correlating the particular storage data to the particular virtual machine data by (a) determining that the particular virtual machine data identifies the particular volume, and (b) determining that the particular storage data identifies the particular volume;causing display of performance information indicating performance of the particular virtual machine and that identifies the particular volume configured for use by the particular virtual machine;in response to receiving a request to display volume performance information,
causing display of volume performance information, the volume performance information relating to the particular volume that is configured for use by the particular virtual machine.
