Claim:
1. A method comprising: performing operations as follows on a processor of an application analysis computer: receiving reports from electronic terminals through a network interface, the reports containing metrics for operation of instances of an application processed by the electronic terminals and attributes of the electronic terminals characterizing their application processing platforms; generating metrics clusters of the reports based on the metrics; generating attribute clusters of the reports based on the attributes contained in the reports of one of the metrics clusters which satisfy a defined metric rule; generating a Bloom filter vector based on content of the records in the attribute clusters; testing membership of content of further reports obtained from electronic terminals against the Bloom filter vector; testing for problematic operation of an electronic terminal from which one of the further reports is obtained responsive to determining that the one of the further reports contains content that is a member of the Bloom filter vector, the testing for problematic operation of the electronic terminal comprising comparing content of the one of the further reports to content of the records in the one of the metric clusters; determining an identifier of the electronic terminal responsive to identifying problematic operation of the electronic terminal; and communicating information through the network interface to an application server which controls the application server to disable further download of the application to the electronic terminal.
