A system and method for monitoring a set of performance metrics is described. The methods include metric correlation and grouping methods that analyze a group of temporally related metrics, and correlate pairs of the metrics in the group. In one embodiment, rank correlation techniques are used to perform this correlation. Methods are also described for grouping metrics using a dynamic correlation pair graph that preserves all of the correlated relationships. This correlation pair graph may be used to determine which metrics are associated with a particular key metric, which may provide information on the cause of an alarm or other event involving the key metric. Another embodiment includes apparatus for correlating, grouping, and identifying the metrics. |
