Abstract
A database is accessed to retrieve performance data associated with a content delivery network. Based on the performance data, a performance metric is determined for components of the content delivery network that are within a particular geographic region. A display is generated that visually represents geographic data representing the particular geographic region, at least one component of the content delivery network within the particular geographic region, and the performance metric.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- accessing a database to retrieve performance data associated with a content delivery network, wherein accessing the database comprises:
- identifying a first component of the content delivery network based on a first criterion;
- and
- identifying a second component of the content delivery network based on the first component, wherein the second component and the first component are coupled to a content server via a common component of the content delivery network;
- determining, based on the performance data, performance metrics for components of the content delivery network that are within a particular geographic region, the components of the content delivery network including the first component and the second component;
- and
- generating a display that visually represents:
- an image representing the particular geographic region;
- the first component;
- the second component;
- the common component;
- and
- the performance metrics, wherein the performance metrics comprise a numeric value that is displayed on the image near at a location that corresponds to a corresponding component, and wherein an icon is placed at each location associated with a component having a performance metric that fails to satisfy a threshold.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- a display device;
- and
- a memory accessible to the processor, the memory comprising instructions executable by the processor to perform operations comprising:
- accessing a database to retrieve performance data associated with a content delivery network, wherein accessing the database comprises:
- identifying a first component of the content delivery network based on a first criterion;
- and
- identifying a second component of the content delivery network based on the first component, wherein the second component and the first component are coupled to a content server via a common component of the content delivery network;
- determining, based on the performance data, performance metrics for components of the content delivery network that are within a particular geographic region, the components of the content delivery network including the first component and the second component;
- and
- generating, at the display device, a display that visually represents:
- an image representing the particular geographic region;
- the first component;
- the second component;
- the common component;
- and
- the performance metrics, wherein the performance metrics comprise a numeric value that is displayed on the image near at a location that corresponds to a corresponding component, and wherein an icon is placed at each location associated with a component having a performance metric that fails to satisfy a threshold.
A computer-readable storage device storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- accessing a database to retrieve performance data associated with a content delivery network, wherein accessing the database comprises:
- identifying a first component of the content delivery network based on a first criterion;
- and
- identifying a second component of the content delivery network based on the first component, wherein the second component and the first component are coupled to a content server via a common component of the content delivery network;
- determining, based on the performance data, performance metrics for components of the content delivery network that are within a particular geographic region, the components of the content delivery network including the first component and the second component;
- and
- generating a display that visually represents:
- an image representing the particular geographic region;
- the first component;
- the second component;
- the common component;
- and
- the performance metrics, wherein the performance metrics comprise a numeric value that is displayed on the image near at a location that corresponds to a corresponding component, and wherein an icon is placed at each location associated with a component having a performance metric that fails to satisfy a threshold.
