1. A method for detecting a cause of an error occurring in a data center, the method comprising:

  • determining a time period between a failure event in the data center and a previous successful event;

    generating, using a data protection advisor (DPA), a set of devices involved in the failure event, wherein the set of devices is generated based on a correlation between the devices, wherein the correlation between the devices is based on historical mapping information queries, and wherein the historical mapping information comprises at least a first mapping between a server and a host backed up by the server and a second mapping between an array and a file system mounted on the array;

    scanning data collected for the set of devices during the determined time period to detect at least one configuration change made during the determined time period; and

    displaying, based on a result of the scanned collected data, the at least one configuration change as a potential root cause of the error.
