DBSherlock: A Performance Diagnostic Tool for Transactional Databases

Summary: DBSherlock is a practical OLTP diagnostic tool, analyzing hundreds of lifetime statistics and configurations to identify a few root causes. Root causes are reincorporated into an evolving causal model to improve future diagnoses, improving accuracy over SOTA. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
