Abstract: A method may include defining a rule identifying an event that triggers a change in a value of a metric. The defining of the rule includes generating a subscription to receive the event from an event stream. Occurrences of the event identified by the rule may be detected based on receiving the event from the event stream. In response to each occurrence of the event, the value of the metric and/or the change in the value of the metric may be evaluated. A notification may be sent to a software application consuming the metric based on the value of the metric and/or the change in the value of the metric satisfying a threshold. Related systems and computer program products are also provided.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining, for each position of a pointer during a selection of a first graphical element, whether the position of the pointer corresponds to a boundary position in a GUI, and based on determining that the position of the pointer corresponds to the boundary position in the GUI, setting a position of the first graphical element to the boundary position even though the pointer continues to move beyond the boundary position during selection of the first graphical element. The systems and methods further provide for determining that the pointer position has moved beyond a predetermined threshold position for the boundary position and causing the first graphical element to move from the boundary position to the same position as the pointer and continue to move with the pointer during selection of the first graphical element.

Abstract: The embodiments described herein relate to an improved technique for integrating zoom, pan and select functions for a user input device in a data processing system. The described novel selection pattern allows for relying on user input device actions and a context menu to integrate multiple functions for a user input device to reduce significantly the travel required for the user input device. In one embodiment, the systems and methods integrate zoom, pan and select functions for a user input device that are applicable to many different data processing device types and sizes.

Abstract: A technique is described for analyzing a dataset that includes many dataset objects by generating a hybrid chart. The hybrid chart is a two-dimensional chart that is divided up into multiple segments. Some segments are configured to present a color from a color scale that is used to represent the number of dataset objects that lie within the segment. Other segments are configured to present dataset objects within the segment by plotting the dataset objects. Depending on the number of dataset objects within the segment, one of these two approaches can be used. The chart offers interactivity like zooming and selecting a range of datasets. Furthermore the chart starts by offering a coarse overview while generating views with increasing granularity and more details over time. During this process the chart remains completely interactive.
