  • Patent number: 8838794
    Abstract: Under the present invention an audit log for the server environment is obtained and parsed to remove any extraneous information. The parsing operation will typically leave only the previous operations processed by the server environment in the audit log. Thereafter, the parsed audit log is fed back to the server environment. Specifically, each operation in the audit log is fed back to the server environment as a request. Each request will typically have its own thread to simulate concurrent thread activity in the server environment. After the requests have been fed, statistics corresponding to the resulting performance of the server environment will be generated.
