Abstract:
1. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having a computer readable program stored therein, wherein the computer readable program, when executed on a computing device, causes the computing device to: generate a response time distribution based on an initial response time distribution midpoint, wherein the response time distribution comprises a plurality of buckets, wherein each bucket within the plurality of buckets defines a time range of possible transaction response times relative to the initial response time distribution midpoint; record transaction response times of transactions in a data processing system for a predetermined time interval; assign the transaction response times to the plurality of buckets or the response time distribution; responsive to determining that a predetermined percentage of transaction response times recorded for the predetermined time interval are assigned to a predetermined set of buckets, in the plurality of buckets, incrementing an out-of-interval counter; responsive to determining out-of-interval counter exceeds a predetermined threshold, determine a new response time distribution midpoint based on the transaction response times recorded for the predetermined time interval; and update the response time distribution based on the new response time distribution midpoint such that each bucket of the response time distribution defines an updated time range relative to the new response time distribution midpoint.
