<p>A system and method for automatically creating causal association models of complex information technology (IT) systems. System components and elements are subject to periodic monitoring associated with performance thresholds. Numerical data indicating component state information is converted to Boolean attributes by use of defined or discovered thresholds. Resulting data is accumulated and data mined for component relations within the IT system using association rules induction methods. Models of the system may then be adapted with results generated from the analysis to accurately reflect causal relations among various system components.</p> |
