following a reload of a computing device:
determining a set of reload indicators from each of a set of monitoring components of the computing device, each of the set of reload indicators associated with a monitoring component, wherein:
a reload indicator comprises a cause for the reload of the computing device determined based on one of a set of hardware components of the computing device being monitored by the monitoring component of the computing device, and a source monitoring component that is a source associated with that reload indicator,
the monitoring component that is the source of the reload of the computing device is determined based on a reload model, and
the reload model defining a hierarchy of the set of monitoring components, including an alternative source for the reload indicator associated with at least one of the monitoring components; and
evaluating the set of reload indicators based on the hierarchy of the set of monitoring components defined by the reload model to determine a reload cause.
