Abstract

Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for leveraging social media to assist in troubleshooting are provided herein. A method includes extracting user-generated information pertaining to multiple failure scenarios from at least one social media data source; determining one or more causality relationships between a set of log entries associated with the multiple failure scenarios and the extracted user-generated information; identifying a similarity between the one or more determined causality relationships and information contained within a user query; and providing guidance to the user regarding resolving and/or obviating a failure associated with the user query based on said identified similarity.
