Path performance mini-charts
First Claim
1. A method for displaying performance data, comprising:
- generating a mini-chart, wherein the mini-chart corresponds to a full data chart that displays collected performance data for at least one object of an I/O path;
displaying the mini-chart as an overlay on a topology map showing objects of the I/O path, wherein the mini-chart is displayed in a position on the topology map adjacent to the least one object of the I/O path displayed on the topology map, wherein the mini-chart is a smaller image of the full data chart and presents at least a portion of the performance data collected for the least one object of the I/O path but wherein the mini-chart presents less data than the full data chart, and wherein displaying the mini-chart on the topology map includes assigning a color to the mini-chart on the topology map according to a criticality determination and based on a color coded criticality schema; and
enabling selection of the mini-chart, wherein selection of the mini-chart causes display of the full data chart corresponding to the mini-chart.

Abstract
A system provides for display of results from performance data analysis that presents mini-chart overlays on a topology map based on intelligent analytics for components in a I/O data path of a host or other object. The mini-charts may be advantageously used to show criticality of impact to assist a user with incident avoidance and/or to provide fast incident resolution. When launching into the topology map, the user may enable mini-charts and visually see from the charts where a possible performance bottleneck is detected by the analytics. In an embodiment, the mini-charts for the most relevant metrics may be displayed and identified for criticality, such as by color. The colors may be determined by thresholds, that may be set by a user and/or determined by the system, and may be calculated automatically based on learned base line, maximum line and minimum line operations over set times.

8. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing software for displaying performance data, the software comprising:
-
executable code that generates a mini-chart, wherein the mini-chart corresponds to a full data chart that displays collected performance data for at least one object of an I/O path; executable code that displays the mini-chart as an overlay on a topology map showing objects of the I/O path, wherein the mini-chart is displayed in a position on the topology map adjacent to the least one object of the I/O path displayed on the topology map, wherein the mini-chart is a smaller image of the full data chart and presents at least a portion of the performance data collected for the least one object of the I/O path but wherein the mini-chart presents less data than the full data chart, and wherein displaying the mini-chart on the topology map includes assigning a color to the mini-chart on the topology map according to a criticality determination and based on a color coded criticality schema; and executable code that enables selection of the mini-chart, wherein selection of the mini-chart causes display of the full data chart corresponding to the mini-chart. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system for displaying performance data, comprising:
-
a display; and a performance data collection tool that collects performance data for at least one object of an I/O data path; and a non-transitory computer readable medium storing software, executed by at least one processor, for displaying performance data, the software comprising; executable code that generates a mini-chart, wherein the mini-chart corresponds to a full data chart that displays collected the performance data for the at least one object of the I/O path; executable code that displays the mini-chart as an overlay on a topology map showing objects of the I/O path, wherein the mini-chart is displayed in a position on the topology map adjacent to the least one object of the I/O path displayed on the topology map, wherein the mini-chart is a smaller image of the full data chart and presents at least a portion of the performance data collected for the least one object of the I/O path but wherein the mini-chart presents less data than the full data chart, and wherein displaying the mini-chart on the topology map includes assigning a color to the mini-chart on the topology map according to a criticality determination and based on a color coded criticality schema; and executable code that enables selection of the mini-chart, wherein selection of the mini-chart causes display of the full data chart corresponding to the mini-chart. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
