Abstract:
An event graph schema for a technology landscape may be determined, where the technology landscape is characterized using scores assigned to performance metrics. The event graph schema may include a plurality of nodes corresponding to the performance metrics and the scores, and directional edges connecting node pairs of the plurality of nodes, with each directional edge having a score-dependent validity criteria defined by scores of a corresponding node pair. Anomalous scores associated with an event within the technology landscape may be used to find anomalous nodes. Valid edges connecting two of the anomalous nodes and satisfying the score-dependent validity criteria thereof may be used to determine at least one path that includes the valid edges and connected anomalous nodes. In this way, it is possible to traverse the at least one path to identify at least one of the connected anomalous nodes as a root cause node of the event.
