Claim One:
1. A system, comprising: a) means for retrieving a first set of records for a first predetermined time interval from one or more resource-metric records stored at one or more electronic storage devices, wherein said one or more resource-metric records at least contain a resource-metric identifier, a metric's value, and a date-time value when said metric's value was obtained, b) means for forming a first mathematical matrix containing one or more metric's values arranged on date-time and resource-metric axes, c) means for creating a second mathematical matrix containing one or more features and a third mathematical matrix containing one or more weights, wherein multiplication of said second mathematical matrix and said third mathematical matrix produces said first mathematical matrix, d) means for building a feature relationship tree, wherein each feature in said one or more features is assigned a list of date-time values and date-time weights from said third mathematical matrix, and said each feature is assigned a list of resource-metric identifiers and resource-metric weights from said second mathematical matrix, e) means for generating a predicted value for said resource-metric identifier and a most recent date-time value in said feature relationship tree, f) means for determining a variance between said predicted value and said metric's value for said resource-metric identifier, and g) means for triggering an alert if said variance exceeds a predetermined alert threshold.
