Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 9:
10. A system for analyzing servers executing instrumented software, the system comprising:
at least one memory having instructions stored thereon; and
at least one processor configured to execute the instructions, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
filter a set of servers from a plurality of servers based at least in part on a filtering criterion;
identify 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;
compare 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;
calculate scores for each of the properties based on the comparing and a probability mass function for a selected dimension for the plurality of servers;
rank the properties of the filtered set of servers based on the scores;
identify 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
cause 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.
