Method and system for performing anomaly detection in a distributed multi-tiered computing environment

Abstract

Techniques described herein relate to a method for managing a distributed multi-tiered computing (DMC) environment. The method includes obtaining, by a local controller associated with a DMC domain, service level objective (SLO) metrics; applying the SLO metrics to a predictive anomaly detection transformer to perform anomaly detection; making a first determination that an anomaly is detected; in response to the first determination: attempting basic remediation to resolve the anomaly; making a second determination that the basic remediation is unsuccessful; in response to the second determination: making a third determination that the anomaly is associated with a silent failure; and in response to the third determination: performing service impairment isolation to obtain a collection of services correlated to the anomaly; and performing root cause analysis to identify causal services.
