Installation and upgrade of visualizations for managed networks

A method, comprising:

• receiving, from a computing device via a graphical user interface, a first user input indicative of a selection of an upgrade to a visualization displayable by the graphical user interface, wherein the visualization represents a key performance indicator associated with a managed network;
• transmitting, to the computing device for display via the graphical user interface, code that corresponds to the upgrade to the visualization, wherein the code is defined in a data model, wherein transmitting the code causes the graphical user interface to display the code, wherein the displayed code specifies how the visualization presents information associated with the key performance indicator via the graphical user interface, and wherein the displayed code comprises a reference to the key performance indicator;
• receiving, from the computing device via the graphical user interface, a second user input that modifies the displayed code;
• transmitting, to the computing device via the graphical user interface, a prompt for permission to process the second user input that modifies the displayed code to generate modified code;
• receiving, from the computing device via the graphical user interface, a third user input indicative of permission to process the second user input that modifies the displayed code to generate the modified code;
• and
• storing the modified code in the data model.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium, comprising machine-readable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, from a computing device via a graphical user interface, a first user input indicative of a selection of an upgrade to a visualization displayable by the graphical user interface, wherein the visualization represents a key performance indicator associated with a managed network;
• transmitting, to the computing device for display via the graphical user interface, code that corresponds to the upgrade to the visualization, wherein transmitting the code causes the graphical user interface to display the code, wherein the displayed code specifies how the visualization presents information associated with the key performance indicator via the graphical user interface, and wherein the displayed code comprises a reference to the key performance indicator;
• receiving, from the computing device via the graphical user interface, a second user input that modifies the displayed code;
• transmitting, to the computing device via the graphical user interface, a prompt for permission to process the second user input that modifies the displayed code to generate modified code;
• receiving, from the computing device via the graphical user interface, a third user input indicative of permission to process the second user input that modifies the displayed code to generate the modified code;
• and
• executing the modified code to upgrade the visualization.
