Dependency assessment interface for components of graphical user interfaces

Abstract:

A system and method is disclosed for configuring a performance analytics (PA) system for processing key performance indicators of a managed network. The PA system may include a database containing PA entity records, each including data associated with a respective PA entity. Each PA entity may be a software and/or hardware component of the PA system. The system also includes a dependency assessment tree having respective nodes corresponding to the respective PA entities and branches connecting functionally dependent nodes of PA. The PA system may be configured to: transmit information to a client device for displaying a graphical representation of one or more respective PA entities; receive a request from the client device for dependency information for a first PA entity; and transmit to the client device a graphical representation of a first portion of the dependency assessment tree depicting the first PA entity and associated dependency nodes.
