Abstract: Computer implemented methods, systems, and computer program products include program code executing on a processor(s) that obtain temporal input from computing resources. The processor(s) extracts patterns from the temporal input, determine if relevant domain knowledge is available. If relevant data is available, the processor(s) utilizes it to identify patterns indicating anomalous workloads, label data in the patterns, and generate anomaly scores. If relevant data is not available, the processor(s) applies unsupervised anomaly detection algorithm(s) to identify patterns as indicative of anomalous workloads and label these data. The processor(s) generates anomaly scores for the labeled data and unlabeled data. The processor(s) determine which patterns indicates anomalous data or normal data by comparing relevant anomaly scores to a pre-defined threshold.
