Apparatus, methods, and other embodiments associated with providing front end intelligence for monitoring back end state are described. One example method includes controlling a first entity to request that a second entity perform a multi-state stateful operation (e.g., file create). The method includes receiving notice from the second entity that the stateful operation has attained a first state (e.g., partial file create complete) and, upon receiving the notice, maintaining, at the first entity, information (e.g., sequence number, metadata) associated with the stateful operation. The method also includes, upon receiving notice that the second entity lost state before the stateful operation attained a second state, selectively providing to the second entity a portion of the information maintained at the first entity, and upon receiving notice from the second entity that the stateful operation has attained the second state, terminating maintaining the information associated with the stateful operation.
