Abstract
For fault Diagnosis in internet service, the detection and localization of high-level failure is very important and a real big challenge. The diagnose methods that passively collect information have two drawbacks: 1) requiring the target system to report its inner message; 2) it’s impossible to detect and locate faults before user senses them. This paper proposes an active diagnose method which test internet service with probes and make fault inferences based on the probe results. Probing method is proactive and adaptive with low cost. We evaluate it through applying it to a J2EE application “Pet Store”, compare it with a current passive method Pinpoint, and show that our method outperforms Pinpoint.
