- Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is becoming ever more critical as modern systems grow in complexity, volume of data, and interdependencies. While traditional RCA methods frequently rely on correlation-based or rule-based techniques, these approaches can prove inadequate in highly dynamic, multi-layered environments. In this paper, we present a pathway-tracing package built on the DoWhy causal inference library. Our method integrates conditional anomaly scoring, noise-based attribution, and depth-first path exploration to reveal multi-hop causal chains. By systematically tracing entire causal pathways from an observed anomaly back to the initial triggers, our approach provides a comprehensive, end-to-end RCA solution. Experimental evaluations with synthetic anomaly injections demonstrate the package's ability to accurately isolate triggers and rank root causes by their overall significance.
