Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
identifying, by a device intermediary between a plurality of servers and a plurality of clients, a plurality of counters for each of the plurality of servers having values identifying statistics of the plurality of servers, 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;
identifying, by the device 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 the plurality of servers;
responsive to identifying the server of the plurality of servers, determining, by the device 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;
outputting, by the device responsive to the determination, an indication that the value of the counter is a contributing factor of the identified server being the outlier counter.
