Abstract: A control computer allows users to determine various resource-related aspects of complex network systems separated over a wide geographical area. The control computer generates interactive graphical indicators for each of one or more sites, and displays those indicators on geographical maps to identify the locations of those sites. The graphical indicators also visually represent a current availability of the resources at the sites, as well as the current use, and/or the potential for the use, of those resources at the sites. Thus, a user viewing the graphical indicators can easily determine the current health and performance of a site simply by visually inspecting its corresponding graphical indicator.

Abstract: A GUI is generated from received performance data including a first performance metric associated with a first performance warning threshold, and a second performance metric associated with a second performance warning threshold. The GUI includes an x-axis graphically representing a range of available x-values for the first performance metric, and a y-axis graphically representing a range of available y-values for the second performance metric. The y-axis intersects the x-axis at an intersection point (xi, yi). The x- and y-values of the intersection point (xi, yi) correspond to the first and second performance warning thresholds, respectively. The GUI further includes a graphical icon graphically representing a third performance metric positioned at point (x1, y1). The x- and y-values of the point (x1, y1) respectively correspond to the x- and y-values of the first and second performance metrics at a given time. The GUI is output to a display.
