Abstract
Techniques for non-invasive diagnosis of configuration errors in distributed system are disclosed including obtaining data packets from a network that include inflows and outflows associated with a given component of the network. The number of inflows and the number of outflows for the given component of the network are determined based on the obtained data packets. An intersection point corresponding to a predetermined number of inflows and a predetermined number of outflows is obtained and a score for the given component is determined based on a relationship between the intersection point and the determined number of inflows and outflows for the given component. Whether the score for the given component is greater than a predetermined threshold is determined, and the given component is identified as having a configuration error in response to determining that the score for the given component is greater than a predetermined threshold.
