In my last post, I concluded that the topic of (performance) Anomaly Detection is now solved and I will switch over to (performance) Anomaly Prediction. For the prediction, I distinguish three time windows: The past time, which will be in the input for the model, to decide whether performance problems are imminent. The immediate future, which will be....

Now that I have made the decision to predict bad SAP performance, I need to specify better what I mean by “bad SAP performance”. End users frequently complain about specific transactions or even whole systems being unresponsive. Often it gets difficult to pinpoint the root cause. In my project here, I want to focus on....
After I was clearer on my goal – predicting a general performance issue (i.e. an incident which is so severe that it will get noticed by almost all users) – I can now begin to get more technical. The most fundamental decision is about the data source. Where do I get reliable data about my SAP systems?....
After more than 2 years pause, I finally decided to start another blog, or let’s better say a whole series.
