    Abstract: An illustrative data storage management system uses a control layer that controls information content presented to users and ensures information privacy between diverse tenants and/or resellers who share the system. The system populates a relationship database as transactions roll in (intake processing), and uses information in the relationship database later when processing responses (output processing). The relationship database comprises associations between e.g., a company ID and any number of entities that were created by or on behalf of the company or that are related to the company's service in the system. The control layer parses raw results that are responsive to requests for information and prevents others' information from being included in the responsive message(s). The techniques disclosed herein are not limited to shared systems managed by service providers, and may be implemented in fully owned and operated systems to add security and privacy among diverse users and/or departments.

    Abstract: A region-based distributed information management system is described herein in which some or all of the operations typically performed by a centralized storage manager can be distributed to storage managers located in the various geographic regions. These regional storage managers can manage components of the information management system located in their respective geographic region, and communicate with the centralized storage manager (also referred to herein as a “master storage manager”) for synchronization purposes and/or to hand off operations that cannot be performed by the regional storage manager.

    Abstract: A system according to certain aspects improves the process of managing log data. The system may receive a log data file including one or more log lines that contain information relating to computing operations. At least some of the log lines may include a static portion and a variable portion. The system may process a first log line to identify and extract a static portion from the first log line, and determine a first value for the first log line based on the extracted static portion. The system may process a second log line to identify and extract a static portion from the second log line, and determine a second value for the second log line based on the extracted static portion. The system may compare the first and second values, and based on the comparison, organize the first and second log lines together for presentation to a user.

    Abstract: An illustrative data storage management system comprises “awareness logic” that executes on computing devices hosting storage management components such as storage manager, data agent, media agent, and/or other storage management applications. The illustrative awareness logic operates within each of these illustrative components, e.g., as a thread within processes of the storage management component, such as storage management core process, file identifier process, log monitoring process, etc. The awareness logic monitors the targeted process over time and triggers remedial action when criteria are met. Certain vital statistics of each process are collected periodically and analyzed by the illustrative awareness logic, such as CPU usage, memory usage, and handle counts. Criteria for corrective action include rising trends based on local minima data points for one or more vital statistics of the process. Other criteria include exceeding a threshold based on a logarithm function of the collected data points.

    Abstract: Described herein are techniques for better understanding problems arising in an illustrative information management system, such as a data storage management system, and for issuing appropriate alerts and reporting to data management professionals. The illustrative embodiments include a number of features that detect and raise awareness of anomalies in system operations, such as in deduplication pruning operations. Such anomalies can include delays in the processing of archive files to be deleted and/or delays in the generation of the list of archive files to delete. Anomalies are characterized by frequency anomalies and/or by occurrence counts. Utilization is also of interest for certain key system resources, such as deduplication databases, CPU and memory at the storage manager, etc., without limitation. Predicting low utilization periods for these and other key resources is useful for scheduling maintenance activities without interfering with ordinary deduplication pruning operations and/or other data protection jobs.
