1. In an information technology system having a multiplicity of interconnected nodes, a method for optimizing performance monitoring of said system, said method comprising the steps of:

  • (a) performing a continuity analysis on said system;

    (b) automatically generating a plurality of performance models of said system based on periodic measurements of predefined performance levels;

    (c) continuously monitoring, at a plurality of said nodes, the performance of said system at the respective plurality of said nodes;

    (d) collecting, periodically, performance data on said system at said respective nodes;

    (e) applying a plurality of data mining techniques to said periodically collected system performance data and its associated test program data;

    (f) generating a decision tree using said periodically collected system performance data, said decision tree having a multiplicity of decision nodes, each said decision node corresponding to a component of said system;

    (g) comparing a plurality of relationships within said system between said system performance data and said test program data;

    (h) automatically modifying said steps of continuously monitoring and periodically collecting said system performance data at a plurality of said nodes, whereby said autonomous modification iteratively optimizes said continuous performance monitoring of said system; and

    (i) automatically updating an adaptive system model according to newly discovered relationships.
