Abstract: A method and system for identifying relevant metrics among metrics that are measured to determine conformance with a service level agreement. The method includes selecting two sets of points, each set representing a given number of measurements for an individual metric and setting a separate threshold for each of the sets of points. The threshold values are selected to produce a set of quadrants so as to maximize distribution of points of intersection of each of the sets of points between a second quadrant and a fourth quadrant in a four-quadrant graph. The method can be performed on a computer system.

Abstract: Techniques for parsing rule creation are provided. A technique for constructing one or more message parsing rules may comprise the following steps. First, message data representing past messages, for example, associated with a network, an application and/or a system being analyzed, is obtained. For example, this may involve reading the past or historical message data from messages logs or having a system point to the message data in existing data storage. Parsing rules are then generated by a process from one or more existing rule templates and/or based on user selection and classification of at least a portion of a message. For example, the user may choose a message part and demonstratively classify the part, for example, as a positive or negative example. The generated rules may then be stored for access by a rule-based parsing system such as a message adaptation system.
