Abstract: Organizations may comprise a variety of resources that are assigned to various organizational units, and allocated for various projects or tasks. A user who wishes to understand the organizational structure of the resources may examine information sources, such as resource manifests and resource access logs, and interpret such information with the user's knowledge of the organization, but may fail to achieve a comprehensive, accurate, and up-to-date understanding of the organization. Instead, interactions among users and resources may be monitored to infer organizational structure; assignment of resources to organizational units; relationships among resources; and usages arising within such resource relationships. Based on such inferences, an interactive visual map may be automatically generated that depicts the arrangement of the organization and the interrelationships of the resources.

Abstract: The resources of an organization may provide various functions and services, and the performance of the resources may be of interest. Performance indicators (e.g., network bandwidth, I/O throughput, and processing capacity) may be measured and logged, and examined in the event of diminished performance in order to identify a non-performing resource. However, because resources may depend on other resources, and to different degrees, the performance of the first resource may be limited by the performance of a related resource, and logging respective resource performance may not inform this determination. An embodiment of the techniques presented herein may evaluate an effect of the performance indicators of a first resource on the performance indicators of related resources (e.g., through historic comparisons or differential testing), and a visual resource map may include a visual indicator of the effect of performance indicators of a first resource on the performance indicators of a related resource.

Abstract: While interacting with resources such as databases and data sets, a user of an organization may create a usage of a resource that is interesting or has value. The user may publish the usage to a web page and/or notify other users who may be interested in the usage, but the effectiveness of such sharing depends upon the user's volition to share the usage with interested users. Instead, the interaction between the interacting user and the resource may be monitored to detect a usage of the resource that may be interesting to other users of the organization. Interested users may be automatically identified and notified of the resource usage, and may request a replay of the resource usage by the interacting interested user. Usages may also be automatically stored as part of a catalog of resource usages by the interacting user for interested users to browse and replay.
