US 2018/0121032 A1 · DISPLAYING A COMPLEX SERVICE TOPOLOGY FOR MONITORING

Abstract

In one aspect, a system for displaying a visual topology of a monitored distributed system is disclosed. The system includes a processor; a memory; and one or more modules stored in the memory and executable by a processor to perform operations including: receive data associated with a monitored application performed over a distributed system of interconnected nodes of machines; identify nodes of interest and one or more chains of nodes connected to the nodes of interest from the interconnected nodes based on the received data; generate an interactive flow map of the interconnected nodes in the distributed system; provide a user interface for displaying the interactive flow map; and automatically display the interactive flow map through the provided user interface to visually distinguish the identified nodes of interest and the one or more chains of nodes connected to the nodes of interest from rest of the interconnected nodes.

Dependent claims

A system for displaying a visual topology of a monitored distributed system, including:

a processor;
a memory;
and
one or more modules stored in the memory and executable by a processor to perform operations including:
receive data associated with a monitored application performed over a distributed system of interconnected nodes of machines;
identify nodes of interest and one or more chains of nodes connected to the nodes of interest from the interconnected nodes based on the received data;
generate an interactive flow map of the interconnected nodes in the distributed system;
provide a user interface for displaying the interactive flow map;
and
automatically display the interactive flow map through the provided user interface to visually distinguish the identified nodes of interest and the one or more chains of nodes connected to the nodes of interest from rest of the interconnected nodes in the interactive flow map, wherein the one or more chains of nodes connected to the nodes of interest are displayed to visually indicate a hop distance of each node in the one or more chains from the connected nodes of interest.
