Claim 8:
9. A device comprising:
one or more processors, coupled to memory, and configured to:
identify a plurality of counters for each of a plurality of servers having values identifying statistics of the plurality of servers, the device intermediary between the plurality of servers and a plurality of clients, the device forwarding network traffic from the plurality of clients to at least one server selected from the plurality of servers in accordance with a load balancing scheme;
identify, based on a comparison of a number of server hits across the plurality of servers using a statistical technique, a server of the plurality of servers that is an outlier server with respect to an amount of network traffic being forwarded to each other server of the plurality of servers;
determine, responsive to identifying the server of the plurality of servers, based at least on a comparison of values of the plurality of counters using a statistical outlier algorithm, that a value of a counter of the plurality of counters for the identified server is an outlier counter with respect to other counters of the plurality of counters for the identified server;
output, responsive to the determination, an indication that the value of the counter is a contributing factor of the identified server being the outlier server.
