Abstract
A method, computer system, and computer program product are provided. A set of classifiers are applied to metric definitions of an electronic contract between computing devices of a service provider and a service consumer. Each classifier includes a selector pattern and a set of variable declarations. Performance data of the service provider computing device are filtered according to the selector pattern of the each classifier. One or more algebraic expressions of the metric definitions are evaluated in accordance with the each classifier and the filtered performance data to determine compliance of the service provider computing device with the electronic contract. Evaluation results indicating whether the service provider computing device is in compliance with the electronic contract are captured and reported.
