1. A management system for determining causal relationships among system entities, the management system comprising:

  • at least one processor;

    a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions executable by the at least one processor, the instructions configured to implement,a discoverer configured to periodically start a causal relationship analysis,a causal relationship detector configured to receive events from a computing environment having a plurality of entities upon start of the causal relationship analysis,the causal relationship detector configured to detect causal relationships among the plurality of entities, during runtime of the computing environment, based on the events;

    a rules converter configured to convert one or more of the causal relationships into at least one behavioral rule, the at least one behavioral rule indicating a causal relationship between at least two entities including a first entity and a second entity; and

    a rule implementer configured to receive performance metrics from the first entity and to apply the performance metrics to the at least one behavioral rule, wherein, when the performance metrics satisfies a condition specified by the at least one behavioral rule, the rule implementer is configured to initiate implementation of an action to alleviate an effect on the computing environment produced by the second entity causally linked to the first entity.
