Abstract
Similar to other Cloud Service, Solution as Services over Cloud, as single tenant technology, also requires support of agility and flexibility as a fundamental feature of Cloud computing. Different from other Cloud services, the agility and flexibility typically are not triggered by the typical performance metrics, but at the business level of metrics. A causality analysis method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium using a causal graph depicting relationships among observable primitive metrics from infrastructure, middleware, and business metrics and latent business metrics of an application, include identifying a metric value resulting from measuring the system and application metrics, determining an impact of the measurement of the metrics on the business metrics associated with the measurable metrics in the causal graph, and determining an action to take with respect to the impact on the business metric based on the pre-defined business policies.
