1. A modeling system comprising:

  • a non-transitory memory storing a model modeling interactions of resources of a distributed system; and

    a data processing device in communication with the non-transitory memory and executing instructions that cause the data processing device to implement a system monitor, the system monitor monitoring interactions of the resources of the distributed system and building the model by;

    detecting a state change of a first resource of the distributed system;

    identifying an entity causing the state change of the first resource;

    determining whether a second resource of the distributed system also changes state;

    identifying a relationship between the first resource, the second resource, and the entity based on the entity triggering the first resource and the second resource to change state;

    validating the relationship by;

    varying a property of the entity to trigger a state change of the first resource; and

    determining whether the second resource changes state within the threshold time period after the state change of the first resource; and

    updating the model to indicate the relationship between the first resource, the second resource, and the entity.
