Abstract

A computer implemented method and system is disclosed for changing a display from a display of individual peak values of web site performance to a graphical display of web site performance, including at least one of the individual values. The individual peak values representing real-time web site performance are displayed. One of the individual peak values is selected. A graphical display of historical performance is displayed which includes the selected individual peak value.

Claims

1. A computer implemented method of changing a display from a display of individual peak values of web site performance to a graphical display of web site performance, including at least one of the individual values, comprising:

displaying the individual peak values representing real-time web site performance;

selecting one of the individual peak values;

presenting a graphical display of historical performance which includes the selected individual peak value; and

drawing a vertical line through the selected individual peak value.

15. The method of claim 1, 2, 8 or 9, wherein the individual peak values are displayed in real-time.

16. The method of claim 1, 2, 8 or 9, wherein the individual peak values include live, low, peak and average values.

2. A computer implemented method of changing a display from a display of individual peak values of web site performance to a graphical display of web site performance, including at least one of the individual values, comprising:

displaying the individual peak values representing real-time web site performance;

selecting one of the individual peak values;

presenting a graphical display of historical performance which includes the selected individual peak value; and

drawing a label indicating the value of the individual pack value and the time at which the selected individual peak value occurred.

3. A computer implemented method of changing a display from a display of individual peak values of web site performance to a graphical display of web site performance, including at least one of the individual values, comprising:

displaying the individual peak values representing real-time web site performance;

selecting one of the individual peak values; and

presenting a graphical display of historical performance which includes the selected individual peak value; and

wherein the display step includes a display area representing an LED display.

4. A computer implemented method of changing a display from a display of individual peak values of web site performance to a graphical display of web site performance, including at least one of the individual values, comprising:

displaying the individual peak values representing real-time web site performance;

selecting one of the individual peak values; and

presenting a graphical display of historical performance which includes the selected individual peak value; and

wherein the display step is invoked by clicking on a server tab.

5. The method of claim 4, comprising switching from the server tab to a history tab by performing said selecting step.

6. A computer implemented method of changing a display from a display of individual peak values of web site performance to a graphical display of web site performance, including at least one of the individual values, comprising:

displaying the individual peak values representing real-time web site performance;

selecting one of the individual peak values; and

presenting a graphical display of historical performance which includes the selected individual peak value; and

wherein the method is performed by platform independent executable code.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the platform independent code is a Java applet.

8. A computer implemented method of changing a display of high level measurements representative of web site performance to low level measurements representative of the web site performance, comprising:

displaying the high level measurements;

selecting one of the high level measurements;

presenting a graphical display of historical performance which includes the selected high level measurement; and

drawing a vertical line through the selected individual peak value.

9. A computer implemented method of changing a display of high level measurements representative of web site performance to low level measurements representative of the web site performance, comprising:

displaying the high level measurements;

selecting one of the high level measurements;

presenting a graphical display of historical performance which includes the selected high level measurement; and

drawing a label indicating the value of the individual peak value and the time at which the selected individual peak value occurred.

10. A computer implemented method of changing a display of high level measurements representative of web site performance to low level measurements representative of the web site performance, comprising:

displaying the high level measurements;

selecting one of the high level measurements; and

presenting a graphical display of historical performance which includes the selected high level measurement; and

wherein the display step includes a display area representing an LED display.

11. A computer implemented method of changing a display of high level measurements representative of web site performance to low level measurements representative of the web site performance, comprising:

displaying the high level measurements;

selecting one of the high level measurements; and

presenting a graphical display of historical performance which includes the selected high level measurement; and

wherein the display step is invoked by clicking on a server tab.

12. The method of claim 11, comprising switching from the server tab to a history tab by performing said selecting step.

13. A computer implemented method of changing a display of high level measurements representative of web site performance to low level measurements representative of the web site performance, comprising:

displaying the high level measurements;

selecting one of the high level measurements; and

presenting a graphical display of historical performance which includes the selected high level measurement; and

wherein the method is performed by platform independent executable code.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the platform independent code is a Java applet.
