Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method for analyzing servers executing instrumented software, comprising:
filtering a set of servers from a plurality of servers based at least in part on a filtering criterion;
identifying properties of the filtered set of servers, each property comprising at least a name value pair having at least a dimension of servers and a value of the dimension, wherein the dimension represents a measurable characteristic of the server;
comparing a likelihood of a server from the filtered set of servers having the property with a likelihood of a server outside the filtered set of servers having the property;
calculating scores for each of the properties based on the comparing and a probability mass function for a selected dimension for the plurality of servers;
ranking the properties of the filtered set of servers based on the scores;
identifying characteristic properties of the filtered set of servers based on the ranking, such that the servers from the filtered set of servers have a higher likelihood of having the characteristic properties than servers outside the filtered set of servers;
and
causing display of the ranking of the properties of the filtered set of servers based on the selected dimension through a graphical user interface, wherein the graphical user interface enables selection of one or more dimensions and each of the selected dimensions are graphically represented for the ranking of the properties for the filtered set of servers.
