Claim 4:
5. The method of claim 1, wherein
collecting data through the network comprises identifying, over a period of time, a plurality of data samples for each of a plurality of data tuples regarding the operation of the set of components;
performing the first analysis on the collected data comprises performing a filtering operation on the plurality of data samples to filter out data samples of data tuples that are not relevant for the root cause analysis and to store data samples of data tuples that remain after the filtering operation in a storage; and
performing the second analysis comprises performing a data anomaly identification process on the filtered data samples of the data tuples retrieved from the storage to identify at least one data sample of one data tuple that is an outlier sample that is not within an acceptable range of the other samples of the particular data tuple, said identified data sample associated with the identified instance in time.
