Abstract
The present invention relates to displaying data in a time-aligned fashion. A dashboard may have a defined time window and a plurality of graphs for various types of monitoring data metrics. Updates to each of the graphs may occur at different intervals while the graphs stay aligned to the same time window. The updates may be asynchronously received and displayed in the dashboard in real-time or near real-time. The graphs are aligned to the same time window in a dashboard by adding a future time buffer. When the live data reaches the end of the time window, the future time buffer allows a brief overflow period for updates to be added to the graphs while keeping all the graphs on a common time axis. Once the current time reaches the end of the future time buffer, the dashboard is then shifted forward and a future time buffer is added.
