Assignee: VMWARE LLC
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 17:
18. The medium of claim 15 wherein constructing the root causes and recommendations database comprises:
for each of the objects
for each location of a sliding runtime window
computing a runtime distribution of events associated with an object;
computing a mismatch distribution between the runtime distribution and the baseline distribution of the object, the mismatch distribution comprising absolute differences between probabilities of the baseline distribution and probabilities of the runtime distribution and each absolute difference corresponding to an event;
rank ordering the absolute differences of the mismatch distribution from a largest absolute difference to smallest absolute difference;
assigning a rank to each event based on a magnitude of a corresponding absolute difference to form a list of rank events; and
storing the list of event ranks, a root cause of a performance problem associated with the list of event ranks, and a recommendation for resolving the performance problem in the root causes and recommendations database.
