Automatic identification of workloads contributing to behavioral changes in storage systems using machine learning techniques

Abstract

Methods, apparatus, and processor-readable storage media for automatic identification of workloads contributing to behavioral changes in storage systems using machine learning techniques are provided herein. An example computer-implemented method includes obtaining a primary time series and a set of candidate time series; calculating, using machine learning techniques, similarity measurements between the primary time series and each candidate time series in the set; for each similarity measurement, assigning weights to the candidate time series based on similarity values; generating, for each candidate time series, a similarity score based on the assigned weights; automatically identifying, based on the similarity scores, a candidate time series as contributing to an anomaly exhibited in the primary time series; and outputting identifying information of the at least one identified candidate time series for use in one or more automated actions associated with the storage system.
