Computing the values of configuration parameters for optimal performance of associated applications

摘要

Computing the values of configuration parameters for optimal performance of associated applications. In one embodiment, a rules data is maintained indicating a corresponding rule for each of the configuration parameters of an application sought to be optimized. Each rule specifies the manner of calculation of the corresponding configuration parameter based on a corresponding set of production metrics. On receiving an indication that the value of a specific configuration parameter is to be computed, the rules data is examined and a specific rule (indicating a set of production metrics) corresponding to the specific configuration parameter is identified. The corresponding values of each of the set of production metrics are then determined and the value for the specific configuration parameter is calculated using the identified rule and the estimated values of the set of production metrics.
