Abstract

A computer-implemented method includes: monitoring, by a computing device, resource usage data for a hypervisor; monitoring, by the computing device, resource usage data for a guest machine; identifying, by the computing device, outliers in the resource usage data for the hypervisor and outliers in the resource usage data for the guest machine; executing, by the computing device, a root cause model based on the resource usage data for the hypervisor and the resource usage data for the guest machine; generating, by the computing device, a root cause report identifying results of the executed root cause model; and providing, by the computing device, the root cause report for display.
