When a QoS violation is predicted to occur and a culprit microservice located, Seer uses a lower level tracing infrastructure with hardware monitoring primitives to identify the reason behind the QoS violation. E.g., in memcached there are five main internal stages, each of which has a hardware or software queue associated with it.
