1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- providing an initial visualization of an information technology environment in a display of a user interface, the visualization of the environment in the display including a hierarchical tree having a set of nodes, each node of the set of nodes representing an element of the environment, the nodes being arranged in a parent-child relationship to represent parent-child relationships among the elements of the environment;
presenting, simultaneous with the initial visualization, a parent performance indicator indicative of a performance of an element in the environment that is represented by a parent node of the set of nodes;
detecting an input corresponding to a parent node;
expanding the visualization of the hierarchical tree about the parent node to extend to a set of child nodes; and
presenting, simultaneous with the expanded visualization, a child performance indicator for each child node of the set of child nodes indicative of a performance of an element in the environment that is represented by the child node, the child performance indicators being cumulatively reflected in the parent performance indicator such that problems with performance of elements in the environment can be tracked using the tree and parent-child relationships therein.

Abstract
Techniques promote monitoring of hypervisor systems by presenting dynamic representations of hypervisor architectures that include performance indicators. A reviewer can interact with the representation to progressively view select lower-levet performance indicators. Higher level performance indicators can be determined based on tower level state assessments. A reviewer can also view historical performance metrics and indicators, which can aid in understanding which configuration changes or system usages may have led to sub-optimal performance.
