A datacenter management system uses data collection proxies to collect performance data and configuration data for different physical and virtual entities in the datacenter. A schema is used to represent the different entities, entity relationships, and entity properties in the datacenter. A search engine identifies the intent of a natural language based search query based on the schema and a datacenter dictionary. The search engine then searches the data based on the search query intent. A dictionary manager converts both periodic and aperiodic data into a time series. This allows the search engine to operate as a time machine identifying both performance data and configuration data for any selectable time period.

Datacenter operations using search and analytics

A computerized visualization system includes a computer system management system that provides modeling of a computer system having physical entities and virtual entities and a computer display screen having rendered thereon an arrangement of active icons corresponding to physical and virtual entities included in the computer system, the icons being arranged in concentric circular rings having arc segments corresponding to physical host computers.

A computerized datacenter contextual search query interpretation method includes receiving a search query from a user; displaying search suggestions based on the search query and obtaining a selected one of the search suggestions. Any time period associated with the search query is identified, instructions based on the selected search suggestion and any time period for searching a data model of a datacenter are generated to obtain search results and display a graphical visualization of the search results.

A computerized virtual entity pathway visualization method and system provide a virtual entity packet pathway display indicating a packet pathway along which a data packet would travel from between virtual entities (e.g., virtual machines) in a computer system. One implementation includes modeling of a computer system having physical and virtual entities, identifying a packet pathway from a source virtual entity in the computer system to a destination virtual entity in the computer system, and rendering on a computer display screen a packet pathway and an arrangement of plural active icons corresponding to physical and virtual entities included in the packet pathway from the source virtual entity to the destination virtual entity.
