  • Publication number: 20070226389
    Abstract: Reporting Unix or similar computer resource utilization per computer application includes processing a collector script during first predetermined time intervals. The collector script collects resource utilization data for processes currently running on a computer. The processes correspond to one or more computer applications. A processor script is processed during second predetermined time intervals. The processor script determines resource utilization data for one or more computer applications by performing calculations on the resource utilization data for the processes. Reports of resource utilization data for one or more computer applications are presented by accessing and performing calculations on the resource utilization data for one or more computer applications.

  • Publication number: 20060277206
    Abstract: Techniques for reporting computer resource utilization data involve receiving metrics data relating to a computer system that includes multiple resources and identifying, based on the metrics data, resources that are over-utilized and resources that are under-utilized. A summary graphical report of the number of over-utilized resources and the number of under-utilized resources is generated, and a utilization graphical report is generated. The utilization graphical report includes a color-coded listing of over-utilized resources and under-utilized resources and a color-coded indication of utilization for each resource over multiple time periods including one or more predicted utilizations for a future time period. The summary graphical report is displayed, and the utilization graphical report is displayed using a user interface that supports automated manipulation of information in the graphical report in response to a user interaction.

  • Publication number: 20060200546
    Abstract: Identifying computer resource utilization issues includes accessing resource utilization data for a computer system for a particular period of time. The resource utilization data for the particular period of time is based on resource utilization data collected while processes were running on the computer system. The resource utilization data for the particular period of time includes measurements of a metric of operation of a component of the computer system. Each measurement is associated with a period of time. Statistical analysis is performed on the resource utilization data to identify a range of normal measurements for the metric for the particular period of time included in the resource utilization data. Measurements of the metric of the resource utilization data for the particular period of time are compared with the identified range of normal measurements to identify measurements that are outside of the identified range of normal measurements.
