Abstract
Techniques promote monitoring of hypervisor systems by presenting dynamic representations of hypervisor architectures that include performance indicators. A reviewer can interact with the representation to progressively view select lower-level performance indicators. Higher level performance indicators can be determined based on lower level state assessments. A reviewer can also view historical performance metrics and indicators, which can aid in understanding which configuration changes or system usages may have led to sub-optimal performance.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- causing display of a visualization that includes a plurality of nodes that are representative of a plurality of components included in an information technology environment,
- wherein each node of the plurality of nodes is connected to at least one other node to represent at least one hierarchical relationship among the plurality of components;
- determining a performance state of each component of the plurality of components;
- indicating the performance state of each component of the plurality of components by an appearance of each corresponding node of the plurality of nodes;
- receiving first input indicative of a selection of a first node of the plurality of nodes that corresponds to a first component of the plurality of components;
- identifying a hierarchical relationship involving the first node by expanding the visualization that includes the first node to include a second node that is representative of a second component that is a descendant component of the first component;
- presenting a performance indicator for the second component through the appearance of the first node so as to cumulatively reflect performance of the first and second components;
- receiving second input modifying the hierarchical relationship between the first node and the second node, wherein the second input corresponds to a change in a position of the second node corresponding to the second component with respect to the first node corresponding to the first component that causes a connection between the first and second nodes to be altered, the connection being a visual feature in the expanded visualization that is interconnected between the first and second nodes;
- and
- presenting the visualization of the information technology environment including the hierarchical relationship as modified by the second input.

A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory medium containing instructions that, when executed the processor, cause the system to perform actions including:
- causing display of a visualization that includes a plurality of nodes that are representative of a plurality of components included in an information technology environment,
- wherein each node of the plurality of nodes is connected to at least one other node to represent at least one hierarchical relationship among the plurality of components;
- determining a performance state of each component of the plurality of components;
- indicating the performance state of each component of the plurality of components by an appearance of each corresponding node of the plurality of nodes;
- receiving first input indicative of a selection of a first node of the plurality of nodes that corresponds to a first component of the plurality of components;
- identifying a hierarchical relationship involving the first node by expanding the visualization that includes the first node to include a second node that is representative of a second component that is a descendant component of the first component;
- presenting a performance indicator for the second component through the appearance of the first node so as to cumulatively reflect performance of the first and second components;
- receiving second input modifying the hierarchical relationship between the first node and the second node, wherein the second input corresponds to a change in a position of the second node corresponding to the second component with respect to the first node corresponding to the first component that causes a connection between the first and second nodes to be altered, the connection being a visual feature in the expanded visualization that is interconnected between the first and second nodes;
- and
- presenting the visualization of the information technology environment including the hierarchical relationship as modified by the second input.

A non-transitory medium with instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor of a monitoring system, causes the monitoring system to perform operations comprising:
- causing display of a visualization that includes a plurality of nodes that are representative of a plurality of components included in an information technology environment,
- wherein each node of the plurality of nodes is connected to at least one other node to represent at least one hierarchical relationship among the plurality of components;

- indicating the performance state of each component of the plurality of components by an appearance of each corresponding node of the plurality of nodes;
- receiving first input indicative of a selection of a first node of the plurality of nodes that corresponds to a first component of the plurality of components;
- identifying a hierarchical relationship involving the first node by expanding the visualization that includes the first node to include a second node that is representative of a second component that is a descendant component of the first component;
- presenting a performance indicator for the second component through the appearance of the first node so as to cumulatively reflect performance of the first and second components;
- receiving second input modifying the hierarchical relationship between the first node and the second node, wherein the second input corresponds to a change in a position of the second node corresponding to the second component with respect to the first node corresponding to the first component that causes a connection between the first and second nodes to be altered, the connection being a visual feature in the expanded visualization that is interconnected between the first and second nodes;
- and
- presenting the visualization of the information technology environment including the hierarchical relationship as modified by the second input.
