Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for automatically detecting potential performance degradation in a data analytics system including multiple servers, actions include determining a threshold performance score for each server of the multiple servers during an initial period, the threshold performance scores being determined at least partially based on a report generated by a respective server, and, after the initial period, and for each server: intermittently calculating a performance score, comparing the performance score to the threshold performance score to determine whether a violation indicating performance degradation occurs, and transmitting a notification to report consecutive violations.
