Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems and methods where a time-stamped graphical parameter is displayed in one portion of a display window with a period of relevance highlighted and textual log entries from one or more of various selected logs corresponding to the highlighted time period are displayed in a second portion of the display window. In one embodiment of the invention, the period of relevance on the graph may be manipulated by using GUI controls. As the period of relevance on the graph is changed, the displayed textual log entries are updated to reflect those entries within the current period of relevance.
Claims39
A method for presenting system administration data in a display window on a display element, the method comprising the steps of:
- displaying a graph of one or more system parameters over time in one portion of the display window;
- highlighting a period of relevance within said graph;
- and
- displaying in a second portion of the display window textual log entries corresponding to said period of relevance from one or more logs.
A system for presenting system administration data in a display window of a display element comprising:
- a processor;
- an input/output interface operatively coupled to said processor;
- an input device and a display element operatively coupled to said input/output interface;
- and
- a computer memory operatively coupled to said processor, the computer memory having stored therein log entries from one or more logs containing information from at least one system component and values of system parameters from a multiplicity of times, and disposed therein computer program instructions for
- displaying a display window on the display element;
- displaying a graph of values of one or more system parameters over time in one portion of the display window;
- highlighting a period of relevance within said graph;
- and
- displaying in a second portion of the display window textual log entries corresponding to said period of relevance from one or more logs.
A computer program product embodied on a computer-readable medium for presenting in a display window of a display element computer program product administration data from values of computer program product parameters and log entries stored in a computer memory, comprising computer program instructions for:
- displaying a display window on a display element;
- displaying a graph of values of one or more computer program product parameters over time in one portion of the display window;
- highlighting a period of relevance within said graph;
- and
- displaying in a second portion of the display window textual log entries corresponding to said period of relevance from one or more logs.
