Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for rendering an optimized metrics topology on a monitoring tool are described herein. A monitoring tool, installed on a computer, displays a list of monitorable systems and a plurality of components of a system selected from the list. Each component is analyzed under a selected category. Each component includes a set of metrics associated with the selected category. Each metric from the set of metrics for a component is ranked. A rank for each metric is determined based upon at least a navigation behavior of a user of the monitoring tool and a metric characteristic. Based upon their ranks, the metrics are arranged in an optimized metrics topology. Higher ranked metrics are arranged in relatively higher topology level thereby delivering critical or key metrics, up front, in which the user is interested in.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for rendering system components on a monitoring tool are described herein. A method includes receiving a user selection of a system from a list of monitorable systems, retrieving a plurality of components of the system selected by the user, and generating a graphical display illustrating the plurality of components in a hierarchical topology. Each component is being represented by a graphical indicator. The graphical indicator displays critical information or problem(s) related to a component that can be instantly perceived by the user. Further, the hierarchical topology illustrating a relationship (connectivity) between the components enables the user to easily track a root cause of the problem related to the component.
