Abstract:

In one embodiment, a method and apparatus for animated load graph analysis of system metrics is disclosed. The method includes plotting system metric data of components for three dimensions in a two-dimensional graph for a plurality of distinct time periods, wherein a Z-axis of the three dimensions is represented in the two-dimensional graph by colors that each indicate a frequency of an occurrence at an intersection of a X- and a Y-axis of the two-dimensional graph, and animating the two-dimensional graph by portraying the system metric data for the plurality of distinct periods of time in a sequential order beginning with the earliest time period of the distinct periods of time. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
