Abstract:
1. A method implemented in a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium and processed by one or more processors configured to perform the method, comprising: acquiring a workload state for an executing workload and a processing environment state for a processing environment that the workload is executing within; taking micro measurements at micro second intervals for the workload, the processing environment, resources within the processing environment, and combinations of: the workload, the processing environment, and the resources, and wherein taking further includes determining a status for the processing environment using an Application Programming Interface (API) processing command and wherein taking further includes collecting at least some micro measurements as a particular time that a request to an external service takes to be answered; mapping the micro measurements in a toxic map, wherein the toxic map is represented as one of: a table, a database, and a user-defined data structure associated with the workload, the workload state, the processing environment, the processing environment state, the resources, and the combinations; the toxic map is mined, in view of policy and based on decision rules, to provide conditions and scenarios deemed problematic within one or more of: the workload and the processing environment.
