ABSTRACT:
A library of performance monitor recordings is maintained according to pathologies. The library is indexed to provide a facility to diagnosis poorly performing data processing systems, by capturing performance statistics and comparing these statistics against known problematic statistics. Remote diagnosis can easily be provided by a user capturing a performance session, saving to a file, and transferring the file to a central facility for comparison against its pathological libraries.
