USER INTERFACE FOR AN APPLICATION PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

摘要

An application performance management system is disclosed. Operational elements are dynamically discovered and extended when changes occur. Programmatic knowledge is captured. Particular instances of operational elements are recognized after changes have been made using a fingerprint/signature process. Metrics and metadata associated with a monitored operational element are sent in a compressed form to a backend for analysis. Metrics and metadata from multiple similar systems may be used to adjust/create expert rules to be used in the analysis of the state of an operational element. A 3-D user interface with both physical and logical representations may be used to display the results of the performance management system.

1. An application performance management system comprising:
a communication interface, configured to communicate with an agent deployed within a target computing system, the agent configured to monitor a plurality of operational elements executing within the target computing system; and a processing system coupled with the communication interface, configured to:
receive physical and logical configuration information related to the plurality of operational elements from the agent;receive a plurality of operational metrics related to the plurality of operational elements from the agent;process the physical and logical configuration information to determine a physical relationship between the operational elements and a logical relationship between the operational elements, wherein the logical relationship comprises at least one different relationship from the physical relationship;process the physical and logical configuration information and the plurality of operational metrics to determine at least one logical grouping of at least two of the plurality of operational elements;display a first representation of the operational elements that reflects a physical relationship between the operational elements, and at least one of the plurality of operational metrics for each of the operational elements; anddisplay a second representation of the operational elements that reflects a logical relationship between the operational elements including the at least one logical grouping.
