Framework for aggregating application-aware service level expectations for root cause analysis

A method comprising:

• aggregating, by one or more processors of an analysis framework system, a plurality of performance metrics for a plurality of network entities of a network system into a metric indicative of a health of the plurality of network entities;
• based at least in part on a determination that the aggregated metric indicative of the health of the plurality of network entities does not satisfy a threshold, identifying, by the one or more processors, one or more network entities of the plurality of network entities for which a corresponding performance metrics of the plurality of performance metrics contributed to the aggregated metric not satisfying the threshold;
• and
• outputting, by the one or more processors, a cause of fault associated with the identified one or more network entities.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed, cause one or more processors to execute an analysis framework system, wherein the analysis framework system is configured to:

• aggregate a plurality of performance metrics for a plurality of network entities of a network system into a metric indicative of a health of the plurality of network entities;
• based at least in part on a determination that the aggregated metric indicative of the health of the plurality of network entities does not satisfy a threshold, identify one or more network entities of the plurality of network entities for which a corresponding performance metrics of the plurality of performance metrics contributed to the aggregated metric not satisfying the threshold;
• and
• output a cause of fault associated with the identified one or more network entities.
