Abstract
The present disclosure is related to systems and methods for analysis of anomalous usage of a resource. An example system can include a plurality of virtual computing instances (VCIs) deployed in a software defined data center and a respective monitoring agent associated with each of the plurality of VCIs. The monitoring agent can be configured to collect information regarding resources used by a plurality of processes running on an associated VCI, maintain a sliding window of top resource users among the plurality of processes, analyze the top resource users among the plurality of processes for anomalous usage of the resources, and take an action in response to the anomalous usage.
