Provided are techniques for grouping resources based upon ownership in a cloud environment into a collection representing a composite application corresponding to a particular user; automatically monitoring the resources across two or more virtual machines and two or more physical computing devices; and displaying the monitored resources in a graphical user interface (GUI) in a context associated with the composite application for managing the composite application and the resources, wherein the resources are provided as one or more of a platform as service (PaaS) environment and an infrastructure as Service (IaaS) environment.

Dynamically grouping monitored resources in a cloud environment to collections representing a composite application

A method, computer program product, and computing system for monitoring, via a monitoring server, attributes of computer systems in communication with the monitoring server. A graphical user interface may display selectable attributes of the computer systems monitored by the monitoring server. The computer systems may be sorted in a tree based upon, at least in part, one or more selected attributes of the computer systems monitored by the monitoring server.

Sorting systems in a tree

A system for presenting performance and system management data on a computer monitor. The system comprises a network, one or more presentation views, a data server, and a controller. The network interconnects a plurality of computer systems. The presentation views are defined in a memory of one of the computer systems in the network, receive commands for collecting selected performance data on the presentation view's associated computer system, and collect and present the selected performance data. The data server is executed by one of the computer systems in the network, generates requests for the selected performance data, and stores the collected selected performance data returned in response to the requests. The controller is executed by one of the computer systems in the network, translates the requests generated by the data server into the commands for the presentation views, transmits the commands to the presentation views, and forwards the collected performance data to the data server for storage.
