Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method for predicting a future period of stress for a computer system, the method comprising: collecting a first set of granular monitoring data reflecting activity of the computer system over a first period of time; computing a first set of rollup metric values from the first set of granular monitoring data; determining a prediction threshold for a particular performance metric of the computer system based at least in part upon at least a portion of the first set of rollup metric values; collecting a second set of granular monitoring data reflecting activity of the computer system over a second period of time; wherein the second period of time ends after the first period of time ends; computing a second set of rollup metric values from the second set of granular monitoring data; based at least in part upon the second set of rollup metric values, generating a prediction that predicts a particular value for the particular performance metric at a particular time in the future relative to a time at which the prediction is generated; comparing the particular value to the prediction threshold to determine whether an alert should be generated; generating the alert in response to determining that the particular value exceeds the prediction threshold; wherein the method is performed by one or more computing devices.
