First Claim
1. A data processing method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, a first request for network management information, the first request identifying at least one of a given user, a user device of the given user, or a user application executed by the given user;
determining a first set of user information only for the given user based on one or more of user network device accesses, a connection status, or consumption of applications, services, or data, the determination being based on the first request and data stored in a network database;
wherein the first set of user information comprises performance measurements of two or more devices associated with the given user;
identifying, based at least in part on the first set of user information, one or more interrelations in the first set of user information that represent logical connections between the two or more devices and logical connections between a device used by the given user and the two or more devices with which the given user communicates;
creating a first information tree rooted at a particular interrelation selected from the one or more interrelations and organized according to the one or more interrelations, the first information tree being based on the first set of user information and being created in memory of a network management computer; and
displaying, based on the first information tree, the one or more interrelations and the first set of user information, network management information only for the user comprising the one or more of user network device accesses, the connection status, or the consumption of applications, services or data.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more sequences of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving a first request for network management information, the first request identifying at least one of a given user, a user device of the given user, or a user application executed by the given user; determining a first set of user information only for the given user based on one or more of user network device accesses, a connection status, or consumption of applications, services, or data, the determination being based on the first request and data stored in a network database; wherein the first set of user information comprises performance measurements of two or more devices associated with the given user; identifying, based on at least in part on the first set of user information, one or more interrelations that represent logical connections between the two or more devices and logical connections between a device used by the given user and the two or more devices with which the given user communicates; creating a first information tree rooted at a particular interrelation selected from the one or more interrelations and organized according to the one or more interrelations, the first information tree being based on the first set of user information and being created in memory of a network management computer; and displaying, based on the first information tree, the one or more interrelations and the first set of user information, network management information only for the user comprising one or more of user network device accesses, the connection status, or the consumption of applications, services or data. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A system comprising:
-
a user interface device; and one or more computers operable to interact with a user and configured to; receiving a first request for network management information, the first request identifying at least one of a given user, a user device of the given user, or a user application executed by the given user; in response to receiving the first request; determining a first set of user information only for the given user, wherein the first set of user information comprises performance measurements of two or more devices used by the given user, and includes one or more of user network device accesses, a connection status, or consumption of applications, services or data; creating a first information tree rooted at a particular interrelation selected from the one or more interrelations, and organized according to one or more interrelations in the first set of user information that represent logical connections between the two or more devices and logical connections between a device used by the given user and the two or more devices with which the given user communicates; displaying, based on the first information tree, network management information on a graphical user interface (GUI) at the user interface device, the network management information only for the user comprising any of;
user location information, user configuration information, user network information collected by network monitoring processes executed in a communications network, user application information collected by application monitoring processes executed in the communications network, or user performance information collected by performance monitoring processes executed in the communications network. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24)
