Abstract

One embodiment of the invention disclosed herein provides techniques for detecting and remediating an outlier server in a distributed computer system. A control server retrieves a group of time-series data sets associated with a first time period, where each time-series data set represents a performance metric for a different server in a group of servers. The control server generates a cluster that includes two or more of the time-series data sets, where the performance metric for each server that is associated with one of the time-series data sets in the cluster is within a threshold distance from the performance metric for the servers that are associated with the other time-series data sets in the cluster. The control server determines that a particular time-series data set corresponds to a server included in the group of servers and is not included in the cluster, and marks the server as an outlier server.
