Ticket consolidation for multi-tiered applications

Consolidating problem tickets for a multi-tiered application may comprise identifying a plurality of correlated virtual machines that are running one or more application components of the multi-tiered application. Problem reports may be identified that are generated by one or more of the plurality of correlated virtual machines and caused by a failure of a same single component of the multi-tiered application.
