Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 13:
14. The system of claim 8 wherein using the root causes and recommendations database to identify the root cause of the performance problem and generate the recommendation for resolving the performance problem comprises:
computing a mismatch distribution between a runtime distribution of events associated with the object and 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 a smallest absolute difference;
assigning a rank to each event based on a magnitude of a corresponding absolute difference to form a list of event ranks;
computing a rank list distance between the list of event ranks of the object and each list of event ranks in the root causes and recommendations database;
if the rank list distance is less than a rank list distance threshold, identifying the root cause and recommendation associated with the minimum rank list distance as the root cause and the recommendation for resolving the performance problem with the object; and, if the rank list distance is greater than the rank list distance threshold, generating an alert in a GUI indicating that the root cause and the recommendation for resolving the performance problem with the object is undetermined.
