1. A computer implemented method, comprising the steps of:
- sampling operational characteristics of at least one component hosting at least one application to obtain data reflecting performance of the component;
storing the data into a storage according to an organization including at least a time dimension and a component dimension; and
drawing inferences based upon results of operations conducted on the data in the storage.

Abstract
A distributed decision support system is described for use in the area of problem discovery and capacity planning for database applications. The use of data navigation, particularly drill down, roll up, and pivot for application management tasks are described. The system presents data collected from components of an application server system by various cartridges to users in a way that facilitates the identification of problems in the application server system and provides for an efficient way to do capacity planning of such systems.
