Abstract

A system and method of detecting and forecasting resource bottlenecks of a computer system. In one aspect, a method includes the steps of: monitoring with successive measurements a utilization parameter of a system resource; computing a change parameter by comparing the differences between successive measurements of the utilization parameter; comparing the change parameter to a threshold change parameter; and reporting a resource bottleneck if the change parameter exceeds the threshold change parameter.
