The Sementic Incident and Problem Analyzer assists It-support personnel in tracking in tracking down the causes of incidents complex IT landscapes. It covers two use cases: (1) by analyzing the similarities between two or more system configurations with problems, it suggests possible locations of the problem; (2) by analyzing changes over time of a component with a problem, possible configuration changes are reported which might have led to the problem.
