1. A method for automatically detecting and diagnosing problems in computer system functioning, comprising the steps of:
- determining changed objects from computer system monitoring data;
calculating temporal correlations from errors and changes sequences for each changed object;
identifying and ranking suspicious computer system behavior patterns from the temporal correlations; and
outputting said ranked suspicious computer system behavior patterns.

9. A system for automatically detecting and diagnosing problems in computer system functioning, comprising:
-
a feature extraction module that extracts features, including change frequencies and change sequences, of changed objects from change records of computer system monitoring data of a computer system; a data cleaning module that removes irrelevant changes based on domain independent rules or patterns, wherein irrelevant changes include adding a new file, accessing a file, and frequently changed objects; a drift annotation module that identifies suspicious computer system behavior patterns using normal and abnormal patterns; and a ranking module that calculates confidence levels of the identified suspicious behavior patterns and ranks said suspicious behavior patterns.
