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.

The present invention provides a computer-implemented method, system, and program product for managing log-in strikes in a geographically distributed computer infrastructure. Specifically, under the present invention, when a strike message is received on a strikeout server pursuant to an incorrect password input during an attempted log-in of a user, the incorrect password is compared to a strike list to determine if it was previously received on the strikeout server during a predetermined period of time. Based on this determination, the incorrect password and will be stored in a list on the strikeout server with a corresponding timestamp. Thereafter, the strike message and the timestamp will be replicated to all other strikeout servers in the infrastructure.
