System and method to identify resources used by applications in an information handling system

A computerized method, at a management information handling system, comprising:

• storing, via a monitoring system data repository memory device, aggregate information handling system performance telemetry data crowd-sourced from a population of information handling systems and categorized into mapping classifications based on software application inventory and software application associations with drivers;
• executing instructions, via an application processor, of an information handling system diagnostic platform in an intelligent configuration management system:
• to obtain aggregate information handling system performance telemetry data for at least one hardware or software resource of contributing information handling systems having a first mapping classification corresponding to a monitored client information handling system operating an analyzed software application, and
• to map hardware or software system resources used by the analyzed software application;
• to determine a baseline for at least one hardware or software resource utilization level to be used by the analyzed software application;
• receiving monitored telemetry data from the monitored client information handling system for at least one hardware or software resource during operation of the analyzed software application;
• and
• determining if the monitored telemetry data for the at least one hardware or software resource exceeds a threshold resource utilization level to classify the at least one hardware or software resource as consumed at an intensive level by the analyzed software application.

A management information handling system comprising:

• a monitoring system data repository memory device for storing aggregate information handling system performance telemetry data for hardware and software system resource utilization during operation of an analyzed software application, wherein the aggregate information handling system performance telemetry data is crowd-sourced from a population of contributing information handling systems;
• an application processor executing instructions of an information handling system diagnostic platform:
• to map hardware or software system resources used by the analyzed software application,
• to obtain aggregate information handling system performance telemetry data for the analyzed software application for at least one hardware or software system resource of the mapped hardware or software resources, and
• to determine a baseline resource utilization level for the at least one hardware or software system resource used by the analyzed software application based on aggregate information handling system performance telemetry data for the analyzed software application;
• and
• a network adapter to transmit notification to a client information handling system of the mapped hardware or software system resources and the baseline resource utilization level to be used by the analyzed software application.
