Claim One:
1. A machine-implemented method for problem detection and determination for automated system management in a system, said method comprising: monitoring, by a computing device, system state, workload, and performance parameters of said system; comparing, by a computing device, the monitored parameters against normal system performance behavior of said system, wherein said normal system performance behavior is maintained as a mapping of a behavior of physical components as a function of load characteristics; summarizing performance abnormalities, by a computing device, at a specified layer in said system as computer processing unit (CPU) and input/output (I/O) attributes, wherein said performance abnormalities comprise deviations from said normal system performance behavior; correlating said performance abnormalities, by a computing device, across multiple layers in said system using a query-style interaction interface; and communicating, by a computing device, a root-cause of said performance abnormalities based on a query index expressing a strategy of how an optimal performance behavior of said system can be adapted.
