Abstract

Techniques described herein relate to a method for managing a distributed multi-tiered computing (DMC) environment. The method includes obtaining, by a local controller associated with a DMC domain, a set of correlated services associated with an anomaly; obtaining a service dependency graph associated with the set of correlated services; generating a causal variance for each service using the correlated services and the service dependency graph; generating a weighted rank order of causal services based on the causal variance associated with each service, and the weighted rank order of causal services includes a portion of the services associated with an application associated with the anomaly; and performing remediation based on the weighted rank order of the causal services.
