Abstract: The present invention discloses systems and methods to maintain a multi-component system. The methods include defining a performance factor to be maintained in a given system, and collecting by agents associated with a given container in the system data associated with the performance factor. The collected data is then used to generate a statistical model that describes the normal operating condition of a given system corresponding to the desired performance factor to be monitored. The method also includes collecting real time data corresponding to the desired performance factor, and finding deviations between the real time data and parameters in the statistical model in a given time range. If a deviation is found, an alert is sent to the user to notify the user of such a deviation.
