Method and system for identifying root causes of application underachievement in a virtually provisioned environment

摘要

Identifying root causes of application underachievement in a virtually provisioned environment is described. A utilization measurement is recorded for each resource for each server in a virtually provisioned environment associated with an application operation if an application operation time exceeds a time constraint. The resources include a central processing unit resource, a memory resource, a network resource, and/or an input-output resource. Each utilization measurement is converted to a corresponding utilization range of multiple utilization ranges. After the application operation time exceeds the time constraint on a specified number of occasions, an identification of a specific resource for a specific server as a root cause of the application operation time exceeding the time constraint is output if the utilization record includes a specific range for the specific resource for the specific server more than a specified frequency.
