26 Claims

1. A computer-implemented method for representing entities of a hierarchical computing environment in a monitoring tree, with nodes of the monitoring tree representing at least a subset of entities in the hierarchical computing environment and edges of the monitoring tree representing parent-child relationships between the entities, the method comprising:

for a first parent node, in a particular parent level of the monitoring tree, having a first plurality of child nodes in the nodes of the monitoring tree, identifying a first count of child nodes of the first plurality of child nodes associated with the first parent node that correspond with a particular performance state of a plurality of performance states;

for a second parent node, in the particular parent level of the monitoring tree, having a second plurality of child nodes in the nodes of the monitoring tree, identifying a second count of child nodes of the second plurality of child nodes associated with the second parent node that correspond with the particular performance state of the plurality of performance states; and

causing display of the nodes of the monitoring tree, wherein for the particular parent level having the first parent node and the second parent node in the monitoring tree, the first parent node and the second parent node of the particular parent level are presented in a sorted order based on the first count of child nodes and the second count of child nodes associated with the particular performance state, wherein each of the first parent node and the second parent node comprises a first shape including an indication of a parent performance state of the corresponding parent node and a second shape including visually distinct sections sized proportionately based on a count of child nodes, of the corresponding parent, associated with each of the plurality of performance states.
