Information management cell health monitoring system

Abstract

An information management cell health monitoring system is provided herein that can monitor one or more information management systems, identify any performance issues that are occurring within an information management system, and automatically, or in response to a user input, transmit an instruction to the information management system to execute a workflow to resolve the performance issue(s). For example, the information management cell health monitoring system receives operational data, secondary copy policies, and/or similar data from an information management cells via a network. The information management cell health monitoring system analyzes the received information to identify any issues. If an issue is detected, the information management cell health monitoring system retrieves workflows and determines whether any of the workflows can be used to resolve the detected issue. The information management cell health monitoring system transmits a workflow that resolves the detected issue to the information management system for execution.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An information management cell monitoring system for monitoring the health of one or more information management cells, the information management cell monitoring system comprising:
 a computing device having one or more first hardware processors, wherein the computing device is associated with a first information management cell in the one or more information management cells; and   an information management cell health monitoring system in networked communication with the computing device, wherein the information management cell health monitoring system has one or more second hardware processors, wherein the information management cell health monitoring system is configured with first computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause the information management cell health monitoring system to:
 receive health data from the computing device via a network; 
 process the health data to identify a first issue, wherein the first issue indicates that a storage location for data backed up by the first information management cell is local to the first information management cell; 
 retrieve a plurality of workflows, where each workflow in the plurality of workflows comprises an instruction that is executable by the computing device; 
 compare the first issue with the plurality of workflows; 
 identify a first workflow in the plurality of workflows that, when executed by the computing device, causes the computing device to resolve the first issue by changing the storage location for data backed up by the first information management cell from a location local to the first information management cell to a remote location accessible by the first information management cell via the network; and 
 transmit a message to the computing device that, when received by the computing device, causes the computing device to execute the first workflow.
