This means that a single root failure (such as a specific component on a computing device) can lead to many real and perceived failures across the network
Even more complex, at any given time, there may be many real issues active in the system, and many unknown component states originating from visibility issues

Embodiment Construction

[0009] overview

[0010] Embodiments are employed in the context of a model-based management system. In at least some embodiments, a causality model is used to express the causality of system entities without necessarily requiring knowledge of the overall composition of the particular system of which the system entities are a part. The causality model can allow causality to be expressed in terms of the relationships a particular system entity has with other system entities. These other system entities may be entities that share a direct relationship, or more generally, an indirect relationship, with the entity to which the causal relationship is expressed.

[0011] Furthermore, in at least some embodiments, the causality representation is in some sense separate from the root cause analysis algorithms that may be used to analyze the causality data. Thus, those who know and construct these causality expressions for a particular system do not have to know the analysis algorithm...

Abstract

Various embodiments provide a causality model is used to express causality of system entities in terms that do not necessarily require knowledge of the overall composition of the specific system of which it comprises a part. The causality model, used in connection with model-based management techniques, can allow for the expression of causality in terms of relationships that particular system entities have with other system entities. These other system entities can be entities that share a direct relation or, more generally, an indirect relation with the entity for which the causality is expressed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to computer systems, and more particularly to model-based management systems. Background technique [0002] Systems in today's networked world are highly distributed and interdependent. This means that a single root failure (such as a particular component on a computing device) can cause many real and perceived failures across the network. Even more complex, at any given time there may be many real problems active in the system, as well as many unknown component states originating from visibility problems. Contents of the invention [0003] Embodiments are employed in the context of a model-based management system. In at least some embodiments, a causality model is used to express the causality of system entities without necessarily requiring knowledge of the overall composition of the particular system of which the system entities are a part. The causality model can allow causality to be expressed in terms of the rel...
