In one embodiment, a method of configurably profiling data uses system comprising a pre-processor, a profiler, a post-processor and database. The pre-processor receives data and feedback data and performs configurable first calculations thereon to create data relating to profiling features. The profiler summarizes the profiling features data over a length of time by performing configurable second calculations thereon to create summarized data relating to profiled features. The post-processor performs configurable third calculations the profiled features data to create the feedback data and a profiled output data stream for further processing.
