Patent number: 8327335Abstract: An improved method is provided for identifying a cause of a performance problem experienced by an application in a computing environment. To help a user find and isolate the problem quicker, the method proposes a unified performance analysis report that presents the most likely indicators of the source of the performance problem. The report presents performance metrics for the software services used by the application and charts the metric values over time since it is often the change in a metric that indicates a problem. Each metric chart should also include an indicator for the state of service for the application. This will help the user correlate metrics from multiple sources to the time period in which the application experienced a problem.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2009Date of Patent: December 4, 2012Assignee: Compuware CorporationInventors: William Noble, Rosina M. Beadle, Terrence V. Harshfield, Kristen Allmacher, Jerry Amos Dunst, Bryce Dunn, Sithanshu K. Shashidhara, Bartosz Gatz, Krzysztof Ziemianowicz
