US Patent 10318283 Managing parameter sets

Managing sets of parameter values includes: receiving a plurality of sets of parameter values for a generic computer program, and processing log entries associated with executions of instances of the generic computer program, each instance associated with one or more parameter values. The processing includes: analyzing the generic computer program to classify each of one or more parameters associated with the generic computer program as a member of either a first class or a second class; processing a log entry associated with an execution of a first instance of the generic computer program to form a particular set of parameter values; and determining whether to add the particular set of parameter values to the plurality of sets of parameter values based on a comparison of a first identifier for the particular set of parameter values to identifiers for at least some of the sets of parameter values.
