Patent Images
1. A method for determining a status of a system, comprising:
- identifying a set of one or more components influencing the status of the system;
determining a status value for each component in the set of components, the status value for each component representing a status for the component;
determining a status value for the system based upon the status values determined for the set of components and based upon a preconfigured set of rules, wherein the status value for the system is selected from a set of preconfigured values; and
outputting the status value determined for the system, the status value representing the status of the system.

Abstract
Techniques for indicating the status or health of a software system in a simple and summarized manner. In one embodiment, a health meter is displayed that displays a status value indicating the status or health of the software system. The status or health of the system as indicated by the health meter may be based upon one or more characteristics or perspectives (or components) of the system, such as performance, resource utilization, reliability, availability, scalability, and status values computed for the components.

14. A computer-readable storage medium storing a plurality of instructions for controlling a processor to determine a status of a system, the plurality of instructions comprising:
-
instructions that cause the processor to identify a set of one or more components influencing the status of the monitored system; instructions that cause the processor to determine a status value for each component in the set of components, the status value for each component representing a status for the component; instructions that cause the processor to determine a status value for the system based upon the status values determined for the set of components and based upon a preconfigured set of rules, wherein the status value for the system is selected from a set of preconfigured values; and instructions that cause the processor to output the status value determined for the system, the status value indicating the status of the system. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A system for determining a status of a system, the system comprising:
-
a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory; wherein the processor is configured to; identify a set of one or more components influencing the status of the monitored system; determine a status value for each component in the set of components, the status value for a component representing a status for the component; determine a status value for the system based upon the status values determined for the set of components and based upon a preconfigured set of rules, wherein the status value for the system is selected from a set of preconfigured values; and display the status value determined for the system, the status value indicating the status of the system.
