Abstract
A method and apparatus for determining causality mapping between causing events and detectable events among a plurality of nodes in a distributed system is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of automatically generating a causality mapping model of the dependences between causing events at the nodes of the distributed system and the detectable events in a subset of the nodes, the model suitable for representing the execution of at least one system operation. In one aspect the generation is perform by selecting nodes associated with each of the detectable events from the subset of the nodes and indicating the dependency between a causing event and at least one detectable event for each causing event at a node when the causing event node is a known distance from at least one node selected from the selected nodes. In still another aspect, the processing described herein is in the form of a computer-readable medium suitable for providing instruction to a computer or processing system for executing the processing claimed.
