Technique for mapping goal violations to anamolies within a system
First Claim
1. A machine-implemented method for problem detection and determination for automated system management in a system, said method comprising:
- monitoring, by a computing device, system state, workload, and performance parameters of said system;
comparing, by a computing device, the monitored parameters against normal system performance behavior of said system, wherein said normal system performance behavior is maintained as a mapping of a behavior of physical components as a function of load characteristics;
summarizing performance abnormalities, by a computing device, at a specified layer in said system as computer processing unit (CPU) and input/output (I/O) attributes, wherein said performance abnormalities comprise deviations from said normal system performance behavior;
correlating said performance abnormalities, by a computing device, across multiple layers in said system using a query-style interaction interface; and
communicating, by a computing device, a root-cause of said performance abnormalities based on a query index expressing a strategy of how an optimal performance behavior of said system can be adapted.

Abstract
A computer and method for problem detection and determination for automated system management in a system, wherein the method comprises monitoring system state, workload, and performance parameters of the system; comparing the monitored parameters against normal system performance behavior of the system, wherein the normal system performance behavior is maintained as a mapping of a system state and workload-to-performance parameters; summarizing performance abnormalities at a specified layer in the system as computation and data-processing attributes, wherein the performance abnormalities comprise deviations from the normal system performance behavior; correlating the performance abnormalities across multiple layers in the system using an attribute-based framework; and communicating a root-cause of the performance abnormalities.
