Claim:
1. A method for generating performance and capacity statistics, the method comprising: a processor of a computer system receiving a first set of statistical information from a raw-data repository, wherein the first set was stored in the raw-data repository by at least one monitoring entity, and wherein the first set identifies a first characteristic of a first monitored resource of a plurality of monitored resources; the processor performing a predefined query on the first set of statistical information, wherein the query extracts a first subset of the first set of statistical information, wherein the predefined query further filters the first subset in order to make a first logical data format of the first subset consistent with a second logical data format of the second subset of historical data, wherein the filtering comprises functions selected from the group comprising: removing characters, reordering data elements, reordering records, and adjusting a data element's storage format, and wherein the first subset is associated with the first characteristic; the processor retrieving a second subset of historical data from a history repository, wherein the second subset is associated with the first characteristic over a time period that extends back to an earlier point in time, and wherein the earlier point in time precedes the earliest time at which the first set was stored in the raw-data repository; the processor merging the first subset with the second subset such that the merged data is associated with the first characteristic throughout an integrated period of time that extends from the earlier point in time to the earliest time at which the first set was stored in the raw-data repository; the processor storing the merged data in the history repository; the processor representing the merged data as a set of reports, wherein the set of reports represents the first characteristic over the integrated period of time; the processor forwarding the set of reports to a report repository.
