When a workload is selected for further analysis:
Each record in the log is mapped to classification criteria, along with a workload
ID. A set of records is obtained for each classification criteria for a specific workload,
including the workload ID condition.
The response time characteristics of these sets of records are compared against the
service level goals defined for the workload (goal service level goals), and the comparison
status is indicated.
Existing workloads that have similar response time characteristics may be grouped
into a new workload with new service level goals (or the service level goals of the
current workload can be modified, if all the classifications are not meeting the service
level goals).
Records are analyzed for further classification (by identifying clusters on an uncovered
classification parameter) if the standard deviation is high for a classification,
or if the CPU usage is high.
