1. A method of adjusting relative value of implemented computer configuration changes, the method comprising:

  • identifying computer configuration changes in a computer system, the computer configuration changes being identified by using a configuration tracking application installed either locally on the computer system or on a network on which the computer system is communicatively connected;

    obtaining performance metrics for the computer system before and after computer configuration changes implemented in the computer system, the performance metrics being obtained by a performance collector application installed on the computer system; and

    assessing effectiveness of the computer configuration changes based on the obtained performance metrics, wherein the assessing is made by assigning a weight value that represents a relative value of performance improvement based on implementation of each of the computer configuration changes as compared to performance improvements from other configuration changes; and

    the method further comprising;

    receiving a user input with respect to which ones of a plurality of collectors are to be utilized to obtain the performance metrics for the computer system, the plurality of collectors providing an additional role of running tests on various components of the network.
