Abstract

Embodiments are directed to generating metrics based on visualizations. A dashboard that may be associated with source visualizations display a current value of metrics from source visualization models. A classifier may automatically use characteristics from the source visualizations to determine metrics for the source visualization. The source visualization models may be sample to provide values of the metrics across time, at a sampling rate determined by a metric profile. The sampled values may be stored with time values in a metric data store such that the time values may correspond to when the values sampled from the visualization. Metric visualizations may be generated based on the values and the time values such that the metric visualizations display previously sampled values of the metrics.

Dependent claims

A method for generating metrics based on visualizations using one or more processors that execute instructions to perform actions, comprising:

providing a dashboard that is associated with one or more source visualizations that each display a current value of one or more metrics from one or more source visualization models, wherein each source visualization corresponds to a specification and a source visualization model;
evaluating each specification to determine one or more characteristics of each source visualization, wherein the one or more source visualizations are classified based on one or more classifiers and the one or more characteristics;
determining the one or more metrics for each classified source visualization based on the one or more classifiers;
generating one or more metric profiles that correspond to the one or more metrics based on the one or more classifiers;
sampling the one or more source visualization models to provide one or more values of the one or more metrics, wherein a sampling rate is based on the one or more metric profiles;
storing the one or more sampled values with one or more time values in a metric data store, wherein the one or more time values correspond to when the one or more values were sampled;
and
generating one or more metric visualizations based on the one or more values and the one or more time values, wherein the one or more metric visualizations display one or more previously sampled values of the one or more metrics.
