Abstract

A method for configuring an interactive platform for monitoring the performance and the quality of a computer network, the monitoring data being suitable to be displayed on a dynamic page of type webpage in a form of graphic components called “displets”; including providing, on the interactive platform a configuration interface in which are defined, for at least one given user, filtering criteria for displaying displets, the criteria being defined in the form of parameters for configuring the rights of the at least one user.

Claims

1. A method for configuring an interactive platform for monitoring the performance and the quality of a computer network, the monitoring data being suitable to be displayed on a dynamic page of type webpage in a form of graphic components called “

displets”

, comprising;

providing on the interactive platform, a configuration interface in which are defined, for at least one given user, filtering criteria for displaying displets, said criteria being defined in the form of parameters for configuring the rights of said at least one user.

2. The method according to claim 1, characterized in that said criteria are systematically activated by the interactive platform in order to ensure secure access to data.

3. The method according to claim 1, characterized in that said criteria are applied to a given group of displets.

4. The method according to claim 1, characterized in that said criteria are applied to the set of displets for different pages.

5. The method according to claim 1, characterized in that said criteria are applied to a group of users.

6. The method according to claim 5, characterized in that the criteria are applied to each user of the group by inheritance.

7. The method according to claim 5, characterized in that each group is organized according to a multi-level tree structure, and in that specific criteria are defined for a given tree structure level.

8. The method according to claim 7, characterized in that said specific criteria are combined with the criteria defined at the group level.

9. The method according to claim 7, characterized in that said specific criteria replace, for said given level, the criteria defined at the group level.

10. The method according to claim 1, characterized in that the rights of a given user are restricted to the definition and the visibility of criteria.
