Aggregated performance reporting system and method for a distributed computing environment

An aggregated performance reporting system for a distributed computing environment, the system comprising:

• a computing system in communication with a distributed computing environment comprising a plurality of elements, each of the plurality of elements comprising a computing device performing a function for an overall operation of the distributed computing environment, and a database that stores element records associated with corresponding elements of the distributed computing environment, each element record including an element type indicating a type of its respective element, the computing system comprising at least one hardware processor and at least one memory to store instructions that are configured to, when executed by the at least one processor to:
• perform a discovery process to populate the database with the plurality of element records;
• communicate with the plurality of elements of the distributed computing environment to receive parametric information for each of the plurality of elements;
• store the receiving parametric information for each of the plurality of elements in a plurality of element records in the database;
• generate a user interface comprising a search screen and a query response screen, the user interface displayed to a user;
• receive a search term from the user interface through the search screen;
• identify one or more element types associated with element records of the plurality of element records that match the search term, wherein each of the one or more element types identifies a type of a computing device included in the distributed computing environment;
• determine a count of the element records associated with the one or more element types;
• identify, from an element type configuration file stored in the database, one or more aggregated performance indicators that are associated with each element type having a positive count, the element type configuration file correlating the one or more aggregated performance indicators with the one or more element types corresponding to one or more of the plurality of computing devices of the distributed computing environment;
• issue a request to the database to retrieve the matching element records having the identified element types;
• calculate the aggregated performance indicators using the parametric information included in the retrieved element records;
• and
• populate the query response screen with the search term and the aggregated performance indicators, each aggregated performance indicator of the query response screen comprising an indicator label and an associated indicator performance value.

A non-transitory, computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one hardware processor, cause the at least one hardware processor to:

• perform a discovery process to populate a database with a plurality of element records, each element record associated with one or more of a plurality of elements of a distributed computing environment and an element type, each of the plurality of elements comprising a computing device performing a function for an overall operation of the distributed computing environment;
• communicate with the plurality of elements of the distributed computing environment to receive parametric information for each of the plurality of elements;
• store the received parametric information for each of the plurality of elements in the plurality of element records in the database;
• generate a user interface comprising a search screen and a query response screen, the user interface displayed to a user;
• receive search term from user interface through the search screen;
• identify one or more element types associated with element records of the plurality of element records that match the search term, wherein each of the one or more element types identifies a type of a computing device included in the distributed computing environment;
• determine a count of the element records associated with the one or more element types;
• identify, from an element type configuration file stored in the database, one or more aggregated performance indicators that are associated with each element type having a positive count, the element type configuration file correlating the one or more aggregated performance indicators with the one or more element types corresponding to one or more of the plurality of computing devices of the distributed computing environment;
• issue a request to the database to retrieve the matching element records having the identified element types;
• calculate the aggregated performance indicators using parametric information included in the retrieved element records;
• and
• populate the query response screen with the search term and the aggregated performance indicators, each aggregated performance indicator of the query response screen comprising an indicator label and an associated indicator performance value.
