A method of semi-automatic data collection, data analysis and model generation for performance analysis of computer networks and software is provided. The invention provides a graphical user interface which indicates the overall data flow in the performance analysis process and guides the user through the proper sequence of steps in that process. Underneath the graphical user interface, the invention provides software tools which include novel data pipeline for transformation of network traces, resource data and application data into organized hash tables, and further into spreadsheets for introduction into computer network simulation programs. The invention also provides novel algorithms for recognizing transaction and parentage between transactions from low level network trace data. The invention further provides novel methods of visualization of trace data and transaction and parentage associations.

Method of semi-automatic data collection, data analysis, and model generation for the performance analysis of enterprise applications

An apparatus and methodology to acquire and organize measured or modeled statistical data into optimal reports with a performance engineering mode of use and a design mode of use. In a performance engineering mode of use, the engineer may select from a set of performance questions, and guided by the apparatus and largely automated, create well-defined answers to the performance questions of interest. A series of template manipulations whereby report objects that are embedded within templates may be defined, reused, modified and improved upon to optimize reports and to aid in a report building process in a design mode of use. Methods are taught for the automatic selection and population of data tables. Column selection and column header information is optimized for relevance to the report design or system question at hand. The automatic joining of data from a variety of data sources is taught that allows for the rapid construction of specific reports from within multiple data tables of different types, structures and formats.
