A root cause localization model for large scale systems
Emre Kıcıman, Lakshminarayanan Subramanian · 2005
Root cause localization, the process of identifying the source of problems in a system using purely external observations, is a significant challenge in many large-scale systems. In this paper, we propose an abstract model that captures the common issues underlying root cause localization and hence provides the ability to leverage solutions across different systems. 1.
