An SLO (service level objective) is represented by a model that includes nodes that represent elements in a system that are used to fulfill the SLO and information that represents dependencies between the elements. Telemetry information is received describing a condition of an element in the system. The telemetry information can be applied to a particular procedure associated with a particular node in the model to determine if there is a problem associated with the element represented by the particular node. At least a portion of the telemetry information is applied to procedures to determine problem cause information describing which elements have problems relating to the SLO. A relative contribution of elements to a problem associated with the SLO is determined by analyzing the problem cause information and the dependencies between the elements.
A machine implemented method of determining a cause of a problem with a service level objective that is represented by a model that includes nodes that represent elements in a system that are used to fulfill the service level objective and information that represents dependencies between the elements, the method comprising:
A machine readable medium having stored thereon a data structure describing a model that includes nodes that represent elements in a system that are used to fulfill a service level objective and information that represents dependencies between the elements, wherein the machine readable medium comprises a set of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform the following operations:
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
