US 10,257,060 B2 · Rendering application log data in conjunction with system monitoring

Abstract

Techniques for rendering application log data in a heterogeneous monitoring system are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, performance metrics are monitored by service domains that are configured within a target system that includes multiple target system entities. Each of the service domains includes agents that each monitor and record performance metric data for one or more of a set of the target system entities. In response to detecting an event based on the performance metric data, a metric object that associates an identifier of a first target system entity with a performance metric is displayed. In response to graphical input selection of the displayed metric object, an event request that specifies the first target system entity and a metric type of the performance metric is generated. In response to the event request, a search profile is generated. The search profile specifies a metric type having a dependency with the performance metric and further specifies one or more application instances within the target system. Application log requests are generated and transmitted to one or more service domain agents based, at least in part, on the search profile.
