Managing network communication protocols

A computer system for managing rules for network-based analytic elements comprising:

• one or more processors;
• one or more storage devices having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that are executable by the one or more processors, and, when executed, cause the computer system to perform at least the following:
• receive, at the computer system, a dataset of information for network-based analytic elements, wherein:
• the dataset comprises information received by a network-based destination of the analytic elements, and
• the analytic elements were executed within a network-connected software application;
• identify, with at least one of the one or more processors, a pattern within the dataset of information;
• search, within a database of analytic element rules, for an analytic element rule that describes at least a portion of the identified pattern;
• determine the analytic element rule is editable because the analytic element rule is outside of an age threshold, wherein the age threshold comprises a lower limit under which the analytic element rule is not editable and an upper limit above which the analytic element rule is not editable;
• based upon identified differences in the identified pattern and the analytic element rule, update the analytic element rule to incorporate the differences;
• store, within a digital database, the updated analytic element rule, wherein the digital database comprises a set of analytic element rules for managing analytic elements within the network-connected software application;
• execute, at least one of the one or more processors, the network-connected software application;
• capture network communications generated by the network-connected software application;
• and
• identify a captured network communication that comprises a non-conforming analytic element that does not conform to the updated analytic element rule, wherein a processor determines when the captured network communication that comprises the non-conforming analytic element does not conform to the updated analytic element rule.

A computer program product stored on one or more non-transitory hardware storage devices, in the form of computer-executable instructions that are executable by one or more processors of a computer system and that, when executed by the processors, cause the computer system to manage rules within a network-based analytic elements system, including computer-executable instructions that configure the computer system to perform at least the following:

• receive, at the computer system, a dataset of information for network-based analytic elements, wherein:
• the dataset comprises information received by a network-based destination of the analytic elements, and
• the analytic elements were executed within a network-connected software application;
• identify, with a computer processor, a pattern within the dataset of information;
• search, within a database of analytic element rules, for an analytic element rule that describes at least a portion of the identified pattern;
• determine the analytic element rule is editable because the analytic element rule is outside of an age threshold, wherein the age threshold comprises a lower limit under which the analytic element rule is not editable and an upper limit above which the analytic element rule is not editable;
• based upon identified differences in the identified pattern and the analytic element rule, update the analytic element rule to incorporate the differences;
• store, within a digital database, the created updated analytic element rule, wherein the digital database comprises a set of analytic element rules for managing analytic elements within the network-connected software application;
• execute, at least one of the one or more processors, the network-connected software application;
• capture network communications generated by the network-connected software application;
• and
• identify a captured network communication that comprises a non-conforming analytic element that does not conform to the updated analytic element rule, wherein a processor determines when the captured network communication that comprises the non-conforming analytic element does not conform to the updated analytic element rule.
