Anomaly? application change? or workload change? towards automated detection of application performance anomaly and change

: Automated tools for understanding application behavior and its changes during the application life-cycle are essential for many performance analysis and debugging tasks. Application performance issues have an immediate impact on customer experience and satisfaction. A sudden slowdown of enterprise-wide application can effect a large population of customers, lead to delayed projects and ultimately can result in company financial loss. We believe that online performance modeling should be a part of routine application monitoring. Early, informative warnings on significant changes in application performance should help service providers to timely identify and prevent performance problems and their negative impact on the service. We propose a novel framework for automated anomaly detection and application change analysis. It is based on integration of two complementary techniques: i) a regression-based transaction model that reflects a resource consumption model of the application, and i...
