System and method for dynamic filtering and tuning of IT configuration data

A computer system for reducing noise in configuration data in an IT system, comprising:

• agents in a network of the IT system for collecting configuration data from the configuration items;
• a server comprising a processor and memory to process the configuration data;
• wherein the agents are programmed to transmit the collected configuration data to the server for processing;
• wherein the server is programmed to perform the following:
• blocking receipt of selected configuration data by a server load protection module to protect the server from overload by hazardous content;
• storing the configuration data at the server in a long-term data storage;
• processing the configuration data with a batch noise detection module that identifies noise in the configuration data and suppresses non-desired configuration data;
• the batch noise detection module deduces rules based on the identified noise and stores the rules in a data knowledge repository;
• receiving a user query from a user using a front-end module of the server to identify configuration data related to problems in the IT system;
• analyzing the configuration data stored in the long-term data storage with an analytical module to transform the configuration data to be aligned with the user query;
• responsive to the analysis applying a runtime noise detection module to identify and suppress transformed configuration data that are identified as noise to remove irrelevant transformed configuration data from a list of transformed configuration data provided in response to the user query.
