Abstract:

The paper is devoted to the task of finding the root cause of anomaly in a distributed information and computing system. An approximate approach is considered to detect implicit anomalies with accuracy to the object (of a component of the technical device, a node of a network infrastructure, an application or of an information resource). The approximate solution is based on the use of integral parameters that allow you to identify an anomaly, but do not allow you to indicate its cause. To work with such methods for determining the root causes of anomalies, auxiliary data is required, which is called metadata in the work.

The work describes a metadata construction algorithm and shows ways of using metadata to build an object in which the root cause of the anomaly is located. An approximate solution to the problem of finding the root cause of an anomaly with a help of quickly computable values of integral parameters is necessary to reduce the time of interruption of work processes due to implicit anomalies. It is assumed that small subsystems and nodes are easier to replace than to delve into the study of the cause.
