Abstract
Analysis of system information includes retrieving selected snapshots comprising the system information to be analyzed. Further, one or more operations can be performed on the system information to extract resultant information. The resultant information can be provided over a graphical user interface to a user.
Claims15
A computing device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, communicatively coupled to the processor, storing instructions executable by the processor to:
- receive user inputs designating:
- a selection of snapshots of system information, and
- an expression defining an operation to be performed on data of the snapshots to identify and filter out system information differences, among the snapshots, irrelevant to a performance issue based on a stage of a computing system corresponding to each of the snapshots;
- retrieve the selected snapshots from a snapshot storage unit;
- and
- perform the operation to filter out the irrelevant system information differences in the selected snapshots and extract resultant information including system information differences, among the snapshots, relevant to the performance issue.
6 more elements
A method comprising:
- retrieving, from a snapshot storage unit, selected snapshots captured from computing systems, wherein the selected snapshots comprise system information of the computing systems to be analyzed and metadata added to the selected snapshots;
- receiving an expression defining an operation to identify and filter out system information differences, among the snapshots, irrelevant to a performance issue based on a stage of a computing system corresponding to each of the snapshots;
- performing the operation on the metadata added to the selected snapshots to filter out the irrelevant system information differences included in the selected snapshots and to extract resultant information including system differences, among the snapshots, relevant to the performance issue utilizable to resolve the performance issue of a computing system of the computing systems;
- and
- providing the resultant information over a graphical user interface.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions executable by a processing resource to:
- retrieve selected snapshots, captured from a computing system, comprising system information of the computing system to be analyzed;
- receive, from a user, an expression defining an operation to identify and filter out system information differences, among the snapshots, irrelevant to a performance issue based on a stage of the computing system corresponding to each of the snapshots relative to an occurrence of a performance issue;
- perform the operation by applying a problem set, derived from the operation, to data of the snapshots based on the stage of the computing system corresponding each of the snapshots to filter out the irrelevant system information differences and to extract resultant information including system differences, among the snapshots, relevant to the performance issue utilizable to identify and resolve the performance issue;
- and
- provide the resultant information over a graphical user interface to the user.
