  • Apparatus and method for enabling a user to monitor skew of resource usage across different components of a large database system
    Patent number: 9483377
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for facilitating performance monitoring of a large database system. The apparatus comprises a processor and a storage device communicatively coupled with the processor. The processor is programmed to (i) retrieve resource usage data points, (ii) calculate an outlier threshold value based upon values of data points, and (iii) determine if the value of each data point is outside of the threshold value. The processor is further programmed to (iv) plot the value of the data point in histogram with a first color when the data point value is determined to be outside of the threshold value, (v) plot the data point value in histogram with a second color when the data point value is determined to be not outside of the threshold value, and (vi) display the histogram containing plotted data point values of the first color and plotted data point values of the second color to enable a user to quickly and easily identify a potential skew condition.
