X-ray: Automating Root-Cause Diagnosis of Performance Anomalies in Production Software

The current tools of performance analysis for production systems (such as profilers) tell the user what events caused the performance issue (e.g. calling a specific system call) instead of telling them the root cause of these issues (e.g. some misconfigured setting). By using the information provided by current tools to determine the root cause of the issues, the user (mostly the administrator) needs a deep knowledge on the software itself and sometimes the source code. This paper presents X-ray which is a tool that helps users to troubleshoot performance problems without the need of software's developer by providing the root cause of the performance issues for the user.
