A system provides for display of results from performance data analysis that presents mini-chart overlays on a topology map based on intelligent analytics for components in a I/O data path of a host or other object. The mini-charts may be advantageously used to show criticality of impact to assist a user with incident avoidance and/or to provide fast incident resolution. When launching into the topology map, the user may enable mini-charts and visually see from the charts where a possible performance bottleneck is detected by the analytics. In an embodiment, the mini-charts for the most relevant metrics may be displayed and identified for criticality, such as by color. The colors may be determined by thresholds, that may be set by a user and/or determined by the system, and may be calculated automatically based on learned base line, maximum line and minimum line operations over set times.

Path performance mini-charts

A system for controlled-tuning path performance data collection through a single application control. In an embodiment, performance data collection may be turned on or off from an application host running a path performance data application via a user interface. The tool may automatically update performance data collection characteristics as the application host I/O data path changes according to user controlled settings but without requiring further user intervention during the updating. In various embodiments, the tool may update continuously and/or at specified intervals. Turning on path performance data collection on the application host via the user interface may automatically set up synchronized performance data collection for all managed objects within I/O data path(s) of the managed objects.
