Abstract
A method of identifying a root cause in a distributed computing environment includes traversing a plurality of nodes in a call graph starting with an end user node. Each node corresponds to an application component. A response time is calculated between connected pairs of neighboring nodes. A weight is calculated for each of a plurality of edges connecting the neighboring nodes. The nodes are traversed starting with the end user node in an order based on the weight of each of the edges. A root cause score is calculated for each node based on traversing all of the nodes in the order based on the weight of each of the edges. A ranked list is generated.
