Abstract:
1. A method comprising: determining an aggregated count of metric anomalies occurring in an information technology (IT) infrastructure, including obtaining a total count of all metric anomalies as a function of time for a set of resources supplying metric data that are being monitored on the IT infrastructure and adjusting the total count of all metric anomalies to produce the aggregated count of metric anomalies to account for the number of resources in the set of resources that are supplying metric data at a given time, the number of resources that are supplying the metric data being less than the number of resources in the set of resources; determining a threshold noise level for the aggregated count of metric anomalies above which a problem event is likely to be occurring in the IT infrastructure; identifying a problem event in the IT infrastructure when the aggregated count of metric anomalies exceeds the threshold noise level at a given time; issuing an alert when the problem event in the IT infrastructure is identified; and initiating a corrective action in response to the issued alert; wherein at least one of the determining the aggregated count of metric anomalies, the determining the threshold noise level and the identifying the problem event is executed by a processor.
