Autonomous management of computing systems

A computer-implemented method to monitor a distributed computing system, wherein the method comprises:

• obtaining a first plurality of monitoring metrics of a respective software application of one or more software applications implemented over the distributed computing system, wherein the first plurality of monitoring metrics includes an application level metric and an instance level metric associated with the respective software application;
• obtaining time-series data of the first plurality of monitoring metrics;
• programmatically analyzing the time-series data of the first plurality of monitoring metrics to determine a second plurality of monitoring metrics, wherein the second plurality of monitoring metrics is a subset of monitoring metrics selected from the first plurality of monitoring metrics, wherein the second plurality of monitoring metrics is determined to be a predictive set of the first plurality of monitoring metrics;
• and wherein a number of elements in the second plurality of monitoring metrics is smaller than a number of elements in the first plurality of monitoring metrics;
• monitoring the distributed computing system by monitoring the second plurality of monitoring metrics;
• and
• performing an auto-remediation of the respective software application based on the monitoring of the second plurality of monitoring metrics.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, responsive to execution by a processing device, causes the processing device to perform operations comprising:

• obtaining a first plurality of monitoring metrics of a respective application of one or more applications implemented over a distributed computing system, wherein the first plurality of monitoring metrics includes an application level metric and an instance level metric associated with the respective application;
• obtaining time-series data of the first plurality of monitoring metrics;
• programmatically analyzing the time-series data of the first plurality of monitoring metrics to determine a second plurality of monitoring metrics, wherein the second plurality of monitoring metrics is a subset of monitoring metrics selected from the first plurality of monitoring metrics, wherein the second plurality of monitoring metrics is determined to be a predictive set of the first plurality of monitoring metrics;
• and wherein a number of elements in the second plurality of monitoring metrics is smaller than a number of elements in the first plurality of monitoring metrics;
• monitoring the distributed computing system by monitoring the second plurality of monitoring metrics;
• and
• performing an auto-remediation of the respective application based on the monitoring of the second plurality of monitoring metrics.
