AI summary

Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for application anomaly detection using advanced computational AI machine learning modeling. In this way, performance metric data is extracted and the variances are derived by comparing the performance metrics of the application workload for the current time period against the same for a previous period. The AI model is trained at regular intervals by using the derived performance metrics data to identify only the candidate workloads which are degrading or underperforming at an early state, while avoiding reporting workloads that are not causing impact to performance stability of applications across an entity database network. The system monitors application workload across a relational database of an entity for degraded application performance and identifies changes in application workload performance and applies the anomaly detection artificial intelligence machine learning model.
