Abstract

A system for graphically representing an organization action includes a communication interface and a processor. The communications interface receives communication messages between an application arid a server. The processor processes the communication messages to determine organization actions performed in the application. The processor also determines at least one metric of the organization actions based on the communication messages. The processor generates a graphical representation of the metric of the organization actions.

Claims

1. A method for graphically representing an organization action, the method comprising:

receiving communication messages between an application and a server;

processing the communication messages to determine organization actions performed in the application;

determining at least one metric of the organization actions based on the communication messages; and

generating a graphical representation of the metric of the organization actions.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the communication messages comprise packets.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the organization actions comprises user interactions with the application.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the metric comprises time.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the metric comprises a user identifier.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the metric comprises an application identifier.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein the visual representation comprises a graph of the metric over time.

8. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

receiving user input for the visual representation; and

generating another visual representation of at least one database event.

9. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

receiving user input for the visual representation; and

generating another visual representation of another metric of the organization actions.

10. The method of claim 1 further comprising searching for the organization actions based on user input.

11. A system for graphically representing an organization action, the system comprising:

a communications interface configured to receive communication messages between an application and a server; and

a processor configured to process the communication messages to determine organization actions performed in the application, determine at least one metric of the organization actions based on the communication messages, and generate a graphical representation of the metric of the organization actions.

12. The system of claim 11 wherein the communication messages comprise packets.

13. The system of claim 11 wherein the organization actions comprises user interactions with the application.

14. The system of claim 11 wherein the metric comprises time.

15. The system of claim 11 wherein the metric comprises a user identifier.

16. The system of claim 11 wherein the metric comprises an application identifier.

17. The system of claim 11 wherein the visual representation comprises a graph of the metric over time.

18. The system of claim 11 wherein the processor is configured to receive user input for the visual representation and generate another visual representation of at least one database event.

19. The system of claim 11 wherein the processor is configured to receive user input for the visual representation and generate another visual representation with another metric of the organization actions.

20. The system of claim 11 wherein the processor is configured to search for the organization actions based on user input.

21. A software product for graphically representing an organization action, the software product comprising:

software operational when executed by a processor to direct the processor to receive communication messages between an application and a server, process the communication messages to determine organization actions performed in the application, determine at least one metric of the organization actions based on the communication messages, and generate a graphical representation of the metric of the organization actions; and

a storage medium configured to store the software.

22. The software product of claim 21 wherein the communication messages comprise packets.

23. The software product of claim 21 wherein the organization actions comprises user interactions with the application.

24. The software product of claim 21 wherein the metric comprises time.

25. The software product of claim 21 wherein the metric comprises a user identifier.

26. The software product of claim 21 wherein the metric comprises an application identifier.

27. The software product of claim 21 wherein the visual representation comprises a graph of the metric over time.

28. The software product of claim 21 wherein the software is operational when executed by the processor to direct the processor to receive user selection for the visual representation and generate another visual representation with another metric of the organization actions.

29. The software product of claim 21 wherein the software is operational when executed by the processor to direct the processor to receive user selection for the visual representation and generate another visual representation of at least one database event.

30. The software product of claim 21 wherein the software is operational when executed by the processor to direct the processor to search for the organization actions based on user input.
