Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for monitoring status in a relatively continuous, consistent, and intelligent manner. A status monitor receives monitoring data, adaptively and dynamically builds a database of known combinations of monitoring data, and adaptively and dynamically associates those known combinations with assessments of the monitored devices, systems, or networks. From an initial set of selected knowledge that is limited (even limited to no knowledge at all), the status monitor learns those anomalous conditions that require response and what responses are appropriate. The status monitor develops a database of information regarding distinguishable conditions, and measurements of the likely causes or effects of recognizable errors or faults. When an anomalous pattern is recognized, the status monitor, responsive to the anomalous pattern, diagnoses and corrects, or informs a human operator regarding, the monitored devices, systems, or network. The monitoring data includes a set of data streams each possibly having a different format, and each selectively interpreted so as to present information to the status monitor in a format usable by the status monitor. New data streams and formats can be dynamically added or altered. Appropriate responses can include informing human beings; taking remedial action for the monitored devices, systems, or networks; or altering or terminating the operation of the monitored devices, systems, or networks.

Abstract: A network caching system has a multi-protocol caching filer coupled to an origin server to provide storage virtualization of data served by the filer in response to data access requests issued by multi-protocol clients over a computer network. The multi-protocol caching filer includes a file system configured to manage a sparse volume that “virtualizes” a storage space of the data to thereby provide a cache function that enables access to data by the multi-protocol clients. To that end, the caching filer further includes a multi-protocol engine configured to translate the multi-protocol client data access requests into generic file system primitive operations executable by both the caching filer and the origin server.
