A fault model representation of a computer network is generated, wherein the computer network includes a set of connected computer network elements that was at least in part configured based on a specified declarative intent in forming the computer network. A symptom representation for the computer network is determined based on telemetry data of one or more elements of the set of connected computer network elements and a behavior specification repository identifying symptoms and their associated root causes. The fault model representation and the symptom representation are provided to a root cause analysis to determine one or more root causes of one or more detected symptoms of the computer network.
