Network monitoring views can be recorded, replayed and shared. A monitoring system receives monitoring data, in response to which a monitoring view can be constructed. The monitoring data is maintained in memory or mass storage. One or more monitoring views can later be constructed in response to user preferences, even if those users would not have known to select those particular preferences or construct those particular monitoring views at the time. The monitoring views constructed in response to that monitoring data can be presented to users in a simulation of the problem, as if it were occurring at that time. Users can send particular monitoring views to others, with both the effects that the monitoring view can be preserved as part of a trouble report, and the persons receiving the monitoring view can have useful insight into what problem the user has pointed to.
