Estimating the term…
The present invention discloses a method and system for post-analyzing and sequentially viewing metrics for a stored dynamic heterogeneous data space. For example, performance data for a content delivery network can be post-analyzed. Realtime values for entities in the data space which are associated with the metrics can be received from an intelligent agent and sequentially stored in time within a datastore. The stored metrics can be subsequently retrieved from the database and played back for viewing on a graphical display. The playback of events stored by the metrics can occur as though the events were actually happening in real time. For sequential playback of the stored metric values, both a starting and an ending position can be determined. The data can be sequentially played back beginning at the starting position and terminating at the ending position. During playback, a list can be provided for selecting those metrics and entities of the data space that are to be displayed on the graphical display.
A method for post-analyzing and sequentially visualizing a plurality of predefined metrics in a stored dynamic data space, comprising:
The method according to claim 2, wherein said retrieving step, comprises:
The method according to claim 3, wherein said step of displaying said retrieved values, comprises:
The method according to claim 4, further comprising controlling said sequentially changing graphical display by selecting a playback function from the group consisting of playing, forwarding, fast forwarding, rewinding, fast rewinding, pausing, stepping and stopping.
A method for post-analyzing and visualizing predefined metrics for at least one of a plurality of components in a CDN, the method comprising:
The method according to claim 6, wherein said storing step, comprises storing said values sequentially in time as said values are collected.
The method according to claim 7, wherein said retrieving step, comprises:
The method according to claim 8, wherein said step of displaying said retrieved values, comprises:
The method according to claim 9, further comprising controlling said sequentially changing graphical display by selecting a playback function from the group consisting of playing, forwarding, fast forwarding, rewinding, fast rewinding, pausing, stepping and stopping.
A system for post-analyzing and visualizing predefined data metrics for at least one of a plurality of communication components in a CDN, the system comprising:
The system according to claim 11, wherein said datastore, comprises a storage for storing said values within said datastore as said values are collected.
The system according to claim 12, wherein said computing device, comprises:
The system according to claim 13, wherein said display, comprises:
The system according to claim 14, further comprising a user interface for controlling said sequentially changing graphical display by selecting a playback function from the group consisting of playing, forwarding, fast forwarding, rewinding, fast rewinding, pausing, stepping and stopping function.
A machine readable storage having stored thereon, a computer program having a plurality of code sections for post-analyzing and sequentially visualizing a plurality of predefined metrics in a stored dynamic data space, said code sections executable by a machine for causing the machine to perform the steps of:
The machine readable storage according to claim 16, wherein said storing step, comprises storing said values for the predefined metrics sequentially in time as said values are collected.
The machine readable storage according to claim 17, wherein said retrieving step, comprises:
The machine readable storage according to claim 18, wherein said step of displaying said retrieved values, comprises:
The machine readable storage according to claim 19, further comprising
A machine readable storage having stored thereon, a computer program having a plurality of code sections for post-analyzing and visualizing predefined metrics for at least one of a plurality of components in a CDN, said code sections executable by a machine for causing the machine to perform the steps of:
The machine readable storage according to claim 21, wherein said storing step, comprises storing said values sequentially in time as said values are collected.
The machine readable storage according to claim 22, wherein said retrieving step, comprises:
The machine readable storage according to claim 23, wherein said step of displaying said retrieved values, comprises:
The machine readable storage according to claim 24, further comprising controlling said sequentially changing graphical display by selecting a playback function from the group consisting of playing, forwarding, fast forwarding, rewinding, fast rewinding, pausing, stepping, and stopping.
