Summary:A method for monitoring a storage system event, the method may include receiving, by a control unit of a storage system, a request to access a gauge that is associated with the storage system event; updating, by the control unit, a value of the gauge based on (a) a time difference between a time related to the request to access the gauge and a time related to a previous request to access the gauge, and (b) a length of a sliding time window; wherein when the request to access the gauge is triggered by an occurrence of an instance of the storage system event then the updating is further responsive to the occurrence of the instance of the storage system event; and wherein the value of the gauge provides an approximation of an average rate of instances of the storage system event during the sliding time window.
