Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for analyzing one or more root causes of service degradation events in a network or other environment. A method, according to one implementation, includes a step of monitoring a plurality of overlying services offered in an underlying infrastructure having a plurality of resources arranged with a specific topology. In response to detecting a negative impact on the overlying services during a predetermined time window and based on an understanding of the specific topology, the method further includes the step of identifying suspect components from the plurality of resources in the underlying infrastructure. The method also includes the step of obtaining status information with respect to the suspect components to determine a root cause of the negative impact on the overlying services.
