IDENTIFYING AN ERROR CAUSE WITHIN A DISPERSED STORAGE NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method for determining a cause of an error within a dispersed storage network (DSN), the method comprises:
- selecting two or more correlated error messages of a plurality of error messages;
identifying two or more collection of records corresponding to the selected two or more correlated error messages, wherein a collection of records of the two or more collection of records includes;
an event record including information regarding an event, wherein the event is a user access operation or a system administrative operation initiated by a device affiliated with the DSN;
a first record including information regarding a dispersed storage (DS) processing module processing an event request to produce a plurality of sub-event requests, wherein the event request is regarding the event; and
a plurality of records including information regarding a plurality of DS units processing the plurality of sub-event requests; and
identifying a correlation cause of one or more errors corresponding to the two or more correlated error messages based on the two or more collections of records.

Abstract
A method begins by a dispersed storage (DS) processing module selecting two or more correlated error messages of a plurality of error messages. The method continues with the DS processing module identifying two or more collection of records corresponding to the selected two or more correlated error messages such that a collection of records includes an event record including information regarding an event, a first record including information regarding a dispersed storage (DS) processing module processing an event request to produce a plurality of sub-event requests, and a plurality of records including information regarding a plurality of DS units processing the plurality of sub-event requests. The method continues with the DS processing module identifying a correlation cause of one or more errors corresponding to the two or more correlated error messages based on the two or more collections of records.

9. A dispersed storage (DS) module comprises:
-
a first module, when operable within a computing device, causes the computing device to; select two or more correlated error messages of a plurality of error messages; a second module, when operable within the computing device, causes the computing device to; identify two or more collection of records corresponding to the selected two or more correlated error messages, wherein a collection of records of the two or more collection of records includes; an event record including information regarding an event, wherein the event is a user access operation or a system administrative operation initiated by a device affiliated with a dispersed storage network (DSN); a first record including information regarding a dispersed storage (DS) processing module processing an event request to produce a plurality of sub-event requests, wherein the event request is regarding the event; and a plurality of records including information regarding a plurality of DS units processing the plurality of sub-event requests; and a third module, when operable within the computing device, causes the computing device to; identify a correlation cause of one or more errors corresponding to the two or more correlated error messages based on the two or more collections of records. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
