Monitoring network functions concurrently utilizing a performance display
First Claim
1. One or more computer-readable media having computer-useable instructions embodied thereon for performing a method of monitoring network applications utilizing a performance display, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a computing device, configuration settings, the configuration settings comprising a manifest of applications-of-interest;
identifying the appropriate network applications to query based on the applications-of-interest;
performing a performance-display generation process, wherein the performance-display generation process comprises;
collecting performance images stored in a known location by a communications-network server, wherein the performance images are derived from a set of network-function data files provided by the identified network applications;
formatting a layout pattern based on a number of applications-of-interest included in the configuration settings; and
populating the layout pattern with the collected performance images; and
transmitting to the computing device the performance display for rendering on a user-interface display.

Abstract
A computerized method, computer system, and computer-readable media for monitoring network functions concurrently on a performance display is provided. In particular, the performance display is presented to an operator at a user-interface display that includes performance images that represent various network functions. These network functions may be selected from a listing of network functions by the operator for a personalized display. Upon selection, configuration settings are compiled based on the selected network functions and other information. The configuration settings direct a web server to retrieve corresponding performance images stored in a known location by a communications-network server that generates the network performance images from network-function data files. These performance images may be populated onto a layout pattern to generate the performance display. Accordingly, the operator is provided with a mechanism to monitor a plurality of network functions at the same time on a single user-interface display.

20. A computerized method for monitoring network functions utilizing a performance display, the method comprising:
-
receiving at a web server, from a web-browser application, a request to view network functions, the request comprising a uniform resource locator (URL) address targeting the web server, a manifest of applications-of-interest, and an ordering of the manifest of applications-of-interest that relates to a location of performance images within the layout pattern of the performance display; identifying the appropriate network applications to query based on the applications-of-interest; retrieving a set of network-function data files from the identified network applications, wherein each data file of the set network-function data files corresponds to the network functions being managed by one of the identified network applications; performing a performance-display generation process, wherein the performance-display generation process comprises; collecting performance images stored in a known location from a communications-network server, wherein each of the performance images is derived from each of the set of network-function data files, respectively; formatting a layout pattern based on the ordering of the applications-of-interest; and populating the layout pattern with the collected performance images; transmitting the performance display for rendering on a user-interface display; updating the collected performance images by monitoring current performance images being stored in the communications-network server; and if the collected performance images vary upon comparison against corresponding current performance images stored in the communications-network server, populating the pattern layout with the current performance images.
