Methods for automatically generating a report in response to detecting performance and/or availability issues that occur throughout multiple layers of a networked computing environment based on a role of a target recipient of the report are described. In some embodiments, a failure graph may be generated by a root cause identification tool that aggregates data from a plurality of performance management tools monitoring the networked computing environment. The root cause identification tool may acquire a plurality of report templates, determine a first report template of the plurality of report templates based on the role associated with the target recipient, identify a set of variables or an ontology associated with the first report template, assign values to the set of variables using the failure graph, generate a first report based on the first report template, and output the first report to the target recipient.
