Abstract

Disclosed herein is a multi-level analysis for determining a root cause of a network problem by performing a first level of the multi-level process that includes collecting data from one or more network components, generating a set of system metrics where each system metric of the set representing a portion of the data, ranking the set of system metrics based on a level of correlation of each system metric to the network problem to yield a ranked set of system metrics, and providing a visual representation of the first level of the multi-level process. A second level of the multi-level process includes receiving an input identifying one or more of the ranked set of system metrics to be excluded from analysis and performing a conditional analysis using only ones of the set of system metrics that are not identified for exclusion.
