Claim One:
1. A method, comprising: in a computer system that includes at least one component having a performance threshold, transmitting alerts from the computer system to a monitoring system when a performance measure of the at least one component crosses the performance threshold; detecting, using the monitoring system, violations of a Service Level Objective (SLO) defined for a service running on the computer system; based on the alerts transmitted to the monitoring system when the performance threshold is crossed, producing a model that predicts future violations of the SLO responsively to the alerts and has a prediction reliability; and automatically adjusting the performance threshold of the component responsively to the model, wherein producing the model comprises fitting a first sequence comprising historical values of the violations of the SLO and a second sequence comprising historical values of the performance threshold, and wherein automatically adjusting the performance threshold of the component comprises calculating an updated threshold value based on the fitted sequences and a pre-specified prediction reliability.
