Parameter suggestion based on user activity

A non-transitory, computer readable storage device containing software that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:

• choose, based on user activity, a plurality of candidate parameters to be monitored from a plurality of event messages;
• estimate a level of similarity between the chosen plurality of candidate parameters by computing a similarity score for at least two of the chosen candidate parameters;
• and
• determine a plurality of parameters from the chosen candidate parameters if the similarity score for the plurality of parameters is greater than a threshold.

A non-transitory, computer readable storage device containing software that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:

• receive a plurality of event messages from a server;
• choose a plurality of parameters in the event messages to be traced, according to user activity;
• convert the chosen parameters into numbers;
• calculate a similarity score between the chosen parameters;
• and
• if the similarity score for the chosen parameters is greater than a threshold, recommend the chosen parameter in the event messages to be monitored.
