Abstract
Disclosed is a computer-implemented method of finding, troubleshooting and auto-remediating problems in storage environments. The method includes guiding a user, by a data processing system of an active storage environment, to select an applicable playbook of troubleshooting logic from among playbooks of different troubleshooting logic to address problem(s) with infrastructure device(s) of the active storage environment, asking the user, by the data processing system, questions from the applicable playbook to identify a possible resolution path for the problem(s), resulting in an identified resolution path, receiving, by the data processing system, answers to the questions from the user, obtaining, by the data processing system, cross-domain information regarding infrastructure device(s) potentially relevant to the problem(s), resulting in obtained cross-domain information, cognitively determining, by the data processing system, possible resolution(s) based on the answers and the obtained cross-domain information, and auto-remediating, by the data processing system, the problem(s).
