Abstract
A processor accesses a plurality of time series of alarms of a plurality of alarm types that are produced by resources of a network function virtualization (NFV) system. The processor identifies clusters of the plurality of alarm types based on similarities between the plurality of time series and determine causal connections between alarm types in the clusters based on temporal proximity and ordering of the alarm types in the clusters. The processor then stores one or more causality templates representative of the causal connections in a memory.
