Abstract

In one embodiment, a performance metric tracker may show an operation performance metric in context with an operation performance history to a user. The performance metric tracker may track a current operation performance metric of the data resource operation. The performance metric tracker may maintain an operation performance history for a data resource operation. The performance metric tracker may present the current operation performance metric in relation to the operation performance history to a user.

Claims

1. A machine-implemented method, comprising:

tracking a current operation performance metric of a data resource operation;

maintaining an operation performance history for the data resource operation;

presenting in realtime the current operation performance metric in relation to the operation performance history to a user.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

basing the operation performance history on an intra-operation performance.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

presenting a granular operation performance history for the data resource operation.

4. The method of claim 3, further comprising:

displaying the granular operation performance history as a line graph.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

presenting the current operation performance metric as a dynamic level line.

6. The method of claim 5, further comprising:

moving the dynamic level line using a smoothing function.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

anticipating a level change in the current operation performance metric.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

describing the current operation performance metric by displaying a metric caption.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

aligning a metric caption position of a metric caption with a dynamic level line representing the current operation performance metric.

10. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

differentiating a line refresh rate for the dynamic level line from a caption refresh rate for a metric caption.

11. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

presenting a source link to connect the user to a data source for a copy operation.

12. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

presenting a target link to connect the user to a data target for a copy operation.

13. A tangible machine-readable medium having a set of instructions detailing a method stored thereon that when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform the method, the method comprising:

tracking a current operation speed of a data resource operation;

maintaining an operation speed history for the data resource operation;

presenting in realtime the current operation speed as a dynamic level line in relation to the operation speed history to a user.

14. The tangible machine-readable medium of claim 13, wherein the method further comprises:

basing the operation speed history on a previous operation speed average.

15. The tangible machine-readable medium of claim 13, wherein the method further comprises:

presenting the current aggregate operation speed in relation to an aggregate operation speed history to the user.

16. The tangible machine-readable medium of claim 13, wherein the method further comprises:

describing an aggregate completion percentage by displaying an aggregate completion percentage caption in a dialogue title.

17. The tangible machine-readable medium of claim 13, wherein the method further comprises:

identifying a paused operation in a dialogue title

18. The tangible machine-readable medium of claim 13, wherein the method further comprises:

hiding the dynamic level line for a paused operation upon receiving a pause instruction.

19. A performance metric tracker, comprising:

a memory that maintains an operation performance history for a data resource operation;

a processor that executes an operating system to track a current operation performance metric of the data resource operation; and

a display that presents in realtime a dynamic level line representing the current operation performance metric in relation to a line graph representing the operation performance history to a user.

20. The performance metric tracker of claim 19, wherein the processor moves the dynamic level line using a smoothing function.
