Abstract: Automated computer-implemented methods and systems for resolving performance problems with objects executing in a data center are described. The automated methods use machine learning to obtain rules defining relationships between probabilities of event types of in log messages and performance problems identified by a key performance indictor (“KPI”) of the object. When a KPI violates a corresponding threshold, the rules are used to evaluate run time log messages that describe the probable root cause of the performance problem. An alert identifying the KPI threshold violation, and the log messages are displayed in a graphical user interface of an electronic display device.

Abstract: Automated, computer-implemented methods and systems describe herein resolve performance problems with objects executing in a data center. The operations manager uses machine learning to train an inference model that relates probability distributions of event types of log messages of the object to a key performance indicator (“KPI”) of the object. The operations manager monitors the KPI for run-time KPI values that violates a KPI threshold. When the KPI violates the threshold, the operations manager determines probabilities of event types of log messages recorded in a run-time interval and uses the inference model to determine event types of the probabilities of event types of log messages in the run-time interval to determine a root cause of the performance problem. The inference models can be used to identify log messages of event types that correspond to potential performance problems with data center objects and execute appropriate remedial measures to avoid the problems.

Abstract: Automated, computer-implemented methods and systems for resolving performance problems with objects executing in a data center are described. The automated methods use machine learning to train a model that comprises rules defining relationships between probabilities of event types of in log messages and values of a key performance indictor (“KPI”) of the object over a historical time period. When a KPI violates a corresponding threshold, the rules are used to evaluate run time log messages that describe the probable root cause of the performance problem. An alert identifying the KPI threshold violation, and the log messages are displayed in a graphical user interface of an electronic display device.

Abstract: The current document is directed to methods and systems that automatically generate training data for machine-learning-based components used by a metric-data processing-and-analysis component of a distributed computer system, a subsystem within a distributed computer system, or a standalone metric-data processing-and-analysis system. The training data sets are labeled using categorical KPI values. The machine-learning-based components are applied to metric data both for predicting anomalous operational behaviors and problems within the distributed computer system and for determination of potential causes of anomalous operational behaviors and problems within the distributed computer system. Training of machine-learning-based components is carried out concurrently and asynchronously with respect to other metric-data collection, aggregation, processing, storage, and analysis tasks.
