Abstract
An example of a solution provided here comprises receiving as input at least one event (chosen from an event generated by an application probe, and an event generated by a component probe), and providing graphical output based on said inputs, whereby a user correlates a component problem with a performance problem affecting an application. Methods connected with graphics for end to end component mapping and problem-solving in a network environment, systems for executing such methods, and instructions on a computer-usable medium, for executing such methods, are provided.
Claims46
A method for mapping, said method comprising:
- receiving component identifiers as input;
- receiving event identifiers as input;
- and
- providing a graphical representation of a hierarchy containing items chosen from:
- a business process;
- an application;
- an event generated by an application probe;
- a hardware component;
- a software component;
- and
- an event generated by a component probe.
A method for mapping, said method comprising:
- receiving as input at least one event chosen from:
- an event generated by an application probe;
- and
- an event generated by a component probe;
- and
- providing graphical output based on said inputs;
- whereby a user correlates a component problem with a performance problem affecting an application;
- and
- wherein said component problem is associated with said at least one event.
A system for mapping, said system comprising:
- means for receiving as input at least one event chosen from:
- an event generated by an application probe;
- and
- an event generated by a component probe;
- and
- means for providing graphical output based on said inputs;
- whereby a user correlates a component problem with a performance problem affecting an application;
- and
- wherein said component problem is associated with said at least one event.
A computer-usable medium having computer-executable instructions for mapping, said computer-executable instructions comprising:
- means for receiving as input at least one event chosen from:
- an event generated by an application probe;
- and
- an event generated by a component probe;
- and
- means for providing graphical output based on said inputs;
- whereby a user correlates a component problem with a performance problem affecting an application;
- and
- wherein said component problem is associated with said at least one event.
