Disclosed herein is a computer implemented method and system for analyzing load responsive behavior of infrastructure components in an electronic environment for proactive management of the infrastructure components. Transaction data on multiple application transactions is collected. Load patterns are identified from the collected transaction data for generating load profiles. Data on infrastructure behavior in response to the application transactions is collected. Infrastructure behavior patterns are identified from the infrastructure behavior data for generating behavior profiles. The generated load profiles and the generated behavior profiles are correlated to create a load responsive behavior model. The created load responsive behavior model predicts behavior of the infrastructure components for different load patterns. A live data stream from current application transactions is analyzed using the load responsive behavior model to determine current load responsive behavior. Deviations of the current load responsive behavior from the predicted behavior are detected using the load responsive behavior model.
