Graph based liability analysis for the microservice architecture

In this work, we present Graph Based Liability Analysis Framework (GRALAF) for root cause analysis (RCA) of the microservices. In this Proof-of-Concept (PoC) tool, we keep track of the performance metrics of microservices, such as service response time and CPU level values, to detect anomalies. By injecting faults in the services, we construct a Causal Bayesian Network (CBN) which represents the relation between service faults and metrics. The constructed CBN is used to predict the fault probability of services under given metrics which are assigned discrete values according to their anomaly states
