Abstract
To facilitate gathering of information required for root cause analysis associated with the abnormal behavior of an attribute ('problem attribute'), a user can specify causation attributes associated with the problem attribute. When the abnormal behavior is detected for the problem attribute, the causation attributes are automatically polled and stored in a database. The user can later examine the values of the causation attributes to determine if there is a causal relationship to the abnormal behavior of the problem attribute.
