Abstract

Systems and methods for determining the root cause of an event in a data center are presented. The system includes a data center management device coupled to a network and configured to receive an indication of the event from a physical infrastructure device via the network, determine a first generic cause model for the event by accessing an event cause model data store, determine a first event profile by adapting the first generic cause model to the data center using data center profile information stored in a data center profile data store and display a first probability that a potential cause defined by the first event profile is the root cause.
