Anomaly location estimating apparatus, method, and program

Abstract

An aspect of the present disclosure acquires topology information representing a connection configuration between a plurality of apparatuses constituting a communication network and event information representing occurrence statuses of an event by the plurality of apparatuses, estimates, based on the topology information and the event information, a first apparatus corresponding to a failure factor location from among the plurality of apparatuses, estimates, based on an occurrence status of the event by a second apparatus whose connection relationship with the first apparatus estimated is defined by the topology information, whether an occurrence of the event by the second apparatus is caused by the failure factor location or by another anomaly, and estimates, based on a relationship between an occurrence status of the event by the first apparatus and an occurrence status of the event by a third apparatus whose connection relationship with the first apparatus is not defined by the topology information, whether an occurrence of the event by the third apparatus is caused by the failure factor location or by another anomaly.
