Abstract
Visual tools are provided for failure analysis in distributed systems. Errors from synthetic measurements and usage data associated with a cloud based service are aggregated by a management application. The errors are processed to create a distribution that segments the errors based on components of the cloud based service. A failed component that generates a subset of the errors associated with a failure is highlighted. The failed component is one of the components of the cloud based service. The distribution is provided in a visualization to identify the failure by emphasizing the failed component with a failure information in proximity to the failed component.
