Systems and methods for configuration knowledge search

A computer system for searching configuration knowledge, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• a data storage device in communication with the at least one processor, wherein the data storage device comprises instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
• analyze user statistics of a configuration of a middleware, wherein the middleware comprises at least one component, the configuration of the middleware comprises a way to configure the at least one component, and the user statistics identifies a configuration file;
• merge the user statistics in a designated database;
• trace a code of the configuration of the middleware at runtime in a call stack;
• match search query terms with a corresponding component of the middleware in the call stack;
• search in the designated database a corresponding configuration of the corresponding component;
• and
• output a proposal configuration based on the corresponding configuration of the corresponding component.

A method, comprising:

• collecting, by a computing device, user statistics of a configuration of a middleware, wherein the middleware comprises at least one component and provides to a corresponding software application services not provided by the computing device, the configuration of the middleware comprises a way to configure the at least one component, and the user statistics identifies a configuration file modified by a user of the middleware;
• saving, by the computing device, the user statistics in a designated database;
• storing, by the computing device, a code of the configuration of the middleware at runtime in a call stack;
• matching, by the computing device, search query terms with a corresponding component of the middleware in the call stack;
• finding, by the computing device, in the designated database a corresponding configuration of the corresponding component;
• and
• providing, by the computing device, a proposal configuration based on the corresponding configuration of the corresponding component in the designated database.
