Proactive monitoring tree with node pinning for concurrent node comparisons

摘要

In some embodiments, in response to the user selecting a first node in the tree to be pinned, the system displays a first detail panel for the first node, wherein the first detail panel displays state information for the first node, wherein the state information is frozen at the time of pinning. Moreover, in response to the user selecting a second node in the tree to be pinned, the system displays a second detail panel for the second node, wherein the second detail panel displays state information for the second node, wherein the state information is frozen at the time of pinning. Note that the first detail panel is displayed concurrently with the second detail panel to facilitate comparing state information between the first and second nodes.

1. A computer-implemented method for displaying performance data for a computing environment, the method comprising:
displaying the computing environment as a tree including nodes representing a plurality of entities that comprise the computing environment and edges representing parent-child relationships between the plurality of entities, wherein the displayed tree indicates values of a first performance metric for each node in the tree; and in response to the user selecting a first node in the tree to be pinned, displaying a first detail panel for the first node concurrently with displaying the tree, wherein the first detail panel displays state information for the first node that remains unchanged after pinning; wherein when the first node is a parent node, the state information for the first node displayed in the first detail panel includes one or more graphs displaying values of the first performance metric for descendants of the first node; wherein when the first node is a leaf node, the state information for the first node displayed in the first detail panel includes a graph displaying values of the first performance metric for the first node; in response to the user selecting a second node in the tree to be pinned, displaying a second detail panel for the second node concurrently with displaying the tree, wherein the second detail panel displays state information for the second node that remains unchanged after pinning; and wherein the first detail panel is displayed concurrently with the second detail panel to facilitate comparing state information between the first and second nodes.
