Abstract
A method of maintaining server performance comprises receiving, at an analysis server, server performance metrics from at least one monitored server, wherein server performance metrics comprise information about processor usage, memory usage, and network activity and comparing the received metrics with a baseline of values that was established for the server performance metrics based on a variance analysis of historical values. The method further comprises determining that the value of at least one server performance metric of the monitored server is consistently above an upper limit of a range of acceptable deviation from the baseline, analyzing historical occurrences of similar departures of server performance metrics from the range of acceptable deviation, and generating an alert indicating that a risk pattern has been identified and suggesting shutting down a locked process on the monitored server in order to return the server performance metrics to values within the range of acceptable deviation.
