METHOD FOR MULTIDIMENSIONAL VISUAL CORRELATION OF SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT DATA DISPLAYING ORCHESTRATION ACTION THRESHOLD
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring system performance and communicating acceptable parameters of system operation via an enhanced graphical user interface, comprising:
- obtaining system performance data to determine the current status of the system;
determining a display graphic;
calculating boundaries of acceptable system operation for the display graphic;
updating system performance status markers, which indicate system performance at particular points in time, based on the current status of the system; and
displaying the updated system performance status markers and the acceptable boundaries of system operation within a target-type management vector display, wherein the display includes regions representing levels of system performance.

Abstract
A method, apparatus, and computer program product for monitoring the performance of a system. The mechanism of the present invention provides an interface in the form of a graphical user interface (GUI) to communicate multiple layers of system performance data to an operator. An operator monitors this display of information and uses it to determine how to adjust the system to optimize system performance. This mechanism of the present invention provides immediate feedback to an operator by displaying a trail of metric points, wherein the metric points indicate the status of system performance over a period of time. In this manner, the display mechanism of the present invention immediately conveys to an operator whether the system is operating within predefined margins, the results of performance adjustments made to the system, as well as predictions or trends for the system.
