US 2017/0012847 A1 · VISUALIZING RESOURCE RELATIONSHIPS USING KEY PEFORMANCE INDICATORS

Abstract

The resources of an organization may provide various functions and services, and the performance of the resources may be of interest. Performance indicators (e.g., network bandwidth, I/O throughput, and processing capacity) may be measured and logged, and examined in the event of diminished performance in order to identify a non-performing resource. However, because resources may depend on other resources, and to different degrees, the performance of the first resource may be limited by the performance of a related resource, and logging respective resource performance may not inform this determination. An embodiment of the techniques presented herein may evaluate an effect of the performance indicators of a first resource on the performance indicators of related resources (e.g., through historic comparisons or differential testing), and a visual resource map may include a visual indicator of the effect of performance indicators of a first resource on the performance indicators of a related resource.

Dependent claims

A system for presenting resources of an organization to a user, the system comprising:

a device;
a display;
and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, provide a system comprising:
a performance evaluator that:
identifies a first performance indicator of a first resource of the organization, and a second performance indicator of a second resource of the organization;
and
determines an effect of the first performance indicator of the first resource on the second performance indictor of the second resource;
and
a visual resource map presenter that presents to the user, on the display, a visual resource map of the resources of the organization that includes a visual indicator of the effect of the first performance indicator of the first resource on the second performance indicator of the second resource.

7 more elements

A method of presenting resources of an organization to a user of a device having a processor and a display, the method comprising:

executing, on the processor, instructions that cause the device to:
identify a first performance indicator of a first resource of the organization, and a second performance indicator of a second resource of the organization;
determine an effect of the first performance indicator of the first resource on the second performance indictor of the second resource;
and
present to the user, on the display, a visual resource map of the resources of the organization that includes a visual indicator of the effect of the first performance indicator of the first resource on the second performance indicator of the second resource.
