Hotspot identification

Hotspot identification can include receiving data indicating a plurality of reported events each associated with a respective number of configuration items (CIs) of a plurality of CIs and receiving data indicating a topological dependency of each of the plurality of CIs. Hotspot identification can include assigning a weight to each of the respective number of CIs, assigning a weight to CIs of the plurality of CIs having a topological dependency from the respective number of CIs, and identifying the hotspot having a weight assigned thereto that satisfies a hotspot weight threshold.
