Proactive monitoring tree providing pinned performance information associated with a selected node
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for displaying performance data for a hierarchical computing environment, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a user, a selection of a performance metric from a set of monitored performance metrics; and
obtaining values for the selected performance metric for a plurality of entities that comprise the hierarchical computing environment;
causing display of a tree including nodes representing entities in the hierarchical computing environment, wherein a subset of the displayed nodes are parent nodes further associated with a plurality of respective hidden child nodes;
upon receiving a user selection of a parent node further associated with hidden child nodes, causing display of an expanded tree depicting the previously-hidden child nodes associated with the selected parent node;
upon receiving a user request for performance information for a selected node, causing display of performance information illustrating how a value of a performance metric for the selected node varies over time; and
upon receiving a user request to pin performance information associated with a selected node, causing display of state information relating to the performance of the corresponding entity in the computing environment, wherein the displayed state information remains unchanged after pinning and is displayed concurrently with the tree.

Abstract
The disclosed embodiments relate to a system that displays performance data for a computing environment. During operation, the system first determines values for a performance metric for a plurality of entities that comprise the computing environment. Next, the system displays the computing environment as a set of nodes representing the plurality of entities. While displaying the nodes, the system displays a chart with a line illustrating how a value of the performance metric for the selected node varies over time, wherein the line is displayed against a background illustrating how a distribution of the performance metric for a reference subset of the set of nodes varies over time.
