Computer services and other computer entities may be monitored and evaluated by using a model that defines the services and relationships between the services. The model may be used during discovery for finding entities and creating instances of the entities and instances of the relationships between entities. After discovery, data may be collected and stored in a database by monitoring or instrumenting the entity. Analysis of the data may include tracking performance and monitoring the health of a service or other entity. The relationships may be used to graphically display various entities in many useful manners, including graphical representations of the health of various entities.

Modeling, monitoring, and analysis of computer services

Various implementations are described herein for providing unified user experiences using data attributes and data models. By referencing structural information of data attributes included in data models, users are able to interact with and/or view related data stored in different databases. Contextual information for the different databases, data attributes, and data models provide a seamless unified user experience when running reports, scripts, web controls and so forth associated with the related data.

Unified user experience using contextual information, data attributes and data models

A system and method for monitoring processes corresponding to measurable values based on signatures associated with the measurable values is provided. The signatures can be created based on data from auxiliary data sets or auxiliary data sources. Additional monitoring information can be obtained by collecting dimensional data for the measurable values.
