1. A method for automatic interpretation of system data utilized to create a policy document, said method comprising:
- tracking events occurring on a system represented by system data said events including known events represented within the policy document and unknown events;
storing said unknown events in a database of unknown events, wherein only unknown events, separate from known events, are stored in the database of unknown events;
filtering through each unknown event;
analyzing said unknown events within said database;
identifying trends within said database of unknown events based on a historical treatment of said unknown events;
selectively determining which unknown events among all of the unknown events should be considered for inclusion in said policy document; and
updating the policy document with event examples associated with the unknown events selected for inclusion.

Abstract
A system and method for utilizing data mining to generate a policy document or to revise theory within a policy document. A data base of unknown events is mined for application to the development of a system management policy document. The results of the data mining of the database of unknown events are automatically incorporated into a policy document, subject to user approval, to produce a new policy document or an updated version of an existing policy document.
