any access to application source code, a specification of log messages, or deep application knowledge. We evaluate our proposal using fault-injection experiments against other proposals in the field. First, we show that the features needed for symptom definition can be extracted more efficiently than does related work. Second, we show that these features enable an accurate classification of recurrent faults using only standard machine learning techniques. This enables us to identify accurately up to 78% of the faults in our evaluation data set.
