1. A method to visualize a user session on a network, the method comprising:
- identifying a persistent event from a plurality of software-related events, the persistent event (i) including at least a start timestamp and a stop timestamp, and (ii) persisting for a period of time between the start timestamp and the stop timestamp, each of the plurality of software-related events representing a change of state of a computer system;
comparing the persistent event to a second plurality of software-related events that is a subset of the plurality of software-related events excluding the persistent event to determine whether any of the second plurality of software-related events includes at least one timestamp during the period of time of the persistent event; and
displaying an indicator associated with a first event of the second plurality of software-related events during at least a portion of the period of time, the indicator associated with the first event of the second plurality of software-related events being displayed to overlay an indicator of the persistent eventwherein the indicator associated with the first event of the second plurality of software-related events is displayed with a start timestamp associated with an earliest start time of the plurality of software-related events and a stop timestamp corresponds to a timestamp for the first event of the second plurality of software-related events that has occurred during the period of time in response to the first event being a persistent event based on a single timestamp being the stop timestamp without the start timestamp, andwherein the indicator associated with the first event of the second plurality of software-related events is displayed with a start timestamp that corresponds to the timestamp for the first event of the second plurality of software-related events that has occurred during the period of time and a stop timestamp associated with a latest stop time of the plurality of software-related events in response to the first event being a persistent event based on a single timestamp being the start timestamp without the stop timestamp.

12. A system to visualize a user session on a network, the system comprising:
-
a display operable to display a persistent event, the persistent event (i) including at least one timestamp, and (ii) persisting for a period of time that is at least partially during a selected timeframe; and a processor configured to (i) identify the persistent event from among a plurality of software-related events, the persistent event including at least a start timestamp and a stop timestamp with a change of state that is ongoing for a period of time between the start timestamp and the stop timestamp, each of the plurality of software-related events representing a change of state of a computer system, (ii) compare the persistent event to a second plurality of the software-related events, the second plurality of software-related events corresponds to the plurality of software-related events excluding the persistent event and including a timestamp during the period of time, and (iii) displaying an indicator associated with a first event of the second plurality of software-related events during at least a portion of the period of time, the indicator associated with the first event of the second plurality of software-related events being displayed to overlay an indicator of the persistent event, wherein the indicator associated with the first event of the second plurality of software-related events is displayed with a start timestamp associated with an earliest start time of the plurality of software-related events and a stop timestamp corresponds to a timestamp for the first event of the second plurality of software-related events that has occurred during the period of time in response to the first event being a persistent event based on a single timestamp being the stop timestamp without the start timestamp, and wherein the indicator associated with the first event of the second plurality of software-related events is displayed with a start timestamp that corresponds to the timestamp for the first event of the second plurality of software-related events that has occurred during the period of time and a stop timestamp associated with a latest stop time of the plurality of software-related events in response to the first event being a persistent event based on a single timestamp being the start timestamp without the stop timestamp. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
