N-tiered eurt breakdown graph for problem domain isolation

A computer program product for visual representation of end user response time in a multi-tiered network application, the computer program product comprising:

• one or more computer-readable storage devices and a plurality of program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable storage devices, the plurality of program instructions comprising:
• program instructions to receive search criteria for searching a repository of client statistics records, the search criteria specifying identification information pertaining to a user of a multi-tiered network application experiencing one or more application performance problems and a time period associated with the one or more application performance problems, the identification information identifying an IP address of user's computing device;
• program instructions to retrieve from the repository a plurality of client statistics records matching the search criteria;
• program instructions to sort the retrieved plurality of client statistics records based on measurements of performance parameters;
• and
• program instructions to present a graph representing relevant topology hierarchy of the multi-tiered network application based on the sorted client statistics records, the graph visually identifying one or more connections between nodes of the multi-tiered network application, wherein the identified connections comprise potential root-causes of the one or more application performance problems.
