Abstract
In an OSS, storing a plurality, typically less than all, of name-value pairs from a sample space and calculating a “representative” value based on values in the entire sample space. Optionally, a “remainder” value can be generated based on name-value pairs in the sample space that were not stored as part of the plurality of name-value pairs. Displays may be generated based on the top “M” name-value pairs, with “M” typically being set by the user at some number less than “M.”
Claims21
A method of measuring comprising:
- storing “M” name-value pairs from a sample space over a period of time;
- and
- calculating a representative value based on all of the name-value pairs in the sample space.
An OSS system comprising:
- at least one agent that measures values related to a system under test, the agent forming an object based on a sample space for each measurement frequency, the object comprising “M” name-value pairs from the sample space, a representative value for the entire sample space, and a remainder value representative of measured values in the sample space but not included in the “M” name-value pairs.
