Abstract:
One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for profiling a dataset. For example, a snapshot of a volume may be evaluated to identify a set of data characteristics, such as file and directory size information. A baseline dataset profile of a dataset of data within the volume may be constructed based upon the set of data characteristics. Histograms and graphs of directory counts and file counts may be constructed based upon the baseline dataset profile. An incremental dataset profile may be constructed for the dataset based upon an evaluation of the snapshot and a subsequent snapshot of the volume. Histograms and graphs of directories and files that are modified, created, and/or deleted may be constructed based upon the incremental dataset profile. Performance predictions, analytics, field diagnostics of performance issues, and/or scheduling of service execution may be implemented for a storage network hosting the volume based upon dataset profiles.
