Apparatus, system, and method for dynamic adjustment of performance monitoring

An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for dynamically adjusting performance monitoring of storage area network ("SAN") components. An initial violation module is included to determine that a threshold violation associated with a SAN component is an initial threshold violation. A violation entry module is included to record a component violation entry in response to the initial threshold violation. An entry adjustment module is included to adjust a component violation entry associated with a SAN component in response to a threshold violation related to the SAN component. An analysis module is included to analyze the component violation entry based on analysis criteria. A suspicion adjustment module is included to adjust a suspicion variable associated with the SAN component in response to results of the analysis of the component violation entry.
