Abstract
Methods, computing systems and computer program products implement embodiments of the present invention that include detecting, on a communications network in a computing facility including a first computer coupled to a second computer via the communications network, an input/output (I/O) request conveyed from the first computer to the second computer. Subsequent to detecting the I/O request, data traffic resulting from the second computer processing the I/O request is identified on the communications network, and network statistics are collected based on the I/O request and the data traffic. Upon detecting a performance degradation of the computing facility, the performance degradation greater than a predetermined amount, heuristics can be applied to the collected network statistics, to identify a cause of the performance degradation and to identify a remedy to the detected performance degradation. In some embodiments, the identified cause and the identified remedy can be presented to a user on a display.
