Abstract: The present technique provides for the analysis of a data series to identify sequences of interest within the series. The analysis may be used to iteratively update a grammar used to analyze the data series or updated versions of the data series. Furthermore, the technique provides for the calculation of a minimum description length heuristic, such as a symbol compression ratio, for each sub-sequence of the analyzed data sequence. The technique may then compare a selected heuristic value against one or more reference conditions to determine if additional iteration is to be performed. The grammar and the data sequence may be updated between iterations to include a symbol representing a string corresponding to the selected heuristic value based upon a non-termination result of the comparison. Alternatively, the string corresponding to the selected heuristic value may be identified as a sequence of interest based upon a termination result of the comparison.

Abstract: A system provides network application transaction analysis. An analysis tool, when executed by a processor, measures an application transaction metric and calculates a historical system average and a historical application average associated with the application transaction metric based on server performance logs.

The tool determines whether the application transaction metric differs from the historical application average by more than a second threshold amount during consecutive measurements if the application transaction metric does not differ from the historical system average by more than the first threshold amount during consecutive measurements.
