1. A computer-readable storage medium storing a plurality of instruction for controlling a processor to perform diagnostics, the plurality of instructions comprising:
- instructions that cause the processor to determine a set of tests based upon an aggregate model, the aggregate model comprising a plurality of models and links between the models, wherein each model in the aggregate model is a causal network;
instructions that cause the processor to receive evidence information obtained from executing the set of tests, the evidence information comprising information related to a monitored system; and
instructions that cause the processor to apply the evidence information to the aggregate model to obtain diagnostics results.

Abstract
Techniques for performing diagnostics for a monitored system. In one embodiment, an aggregate model built using a set of models is used to determine a set of probes or tests to be executed for obtaining information related to the monitored system. The obtained evidence information is then applied to the aggregate model to perform diagnostics for one or more conditions detected in the monitored system.
