Claim 0:
1. A computer-implementable method for performing a data center monitoring and management operation, comprising:
configuring an aspect of data center infrastructure via an interaction of a user with a data center monitoring and management console, the configuring being performed via a plurality of application program interfaces, the data center monitoring and management console communicating with the data center infrastructure via a network when configuring the aspect of data center infrastructure;
monitoring the interaction of the user with the data center monitoring and management console, the monitoring being performed via the data center monitoring and management console, the data center monitoring and management console including a user interface engine and an application program interface management engine, the user interface engine being implemented to generate a user interface, the application program interface management engine being implemented to perform an application program interface management operation, the application program interface management operation facilitating management of an aspect of an application program interface;
analyzing, via the application program interface management engine, the plurality of application program interfaces used when configuring the aspect of data center infrastructure, the analyzing applying a plurality of default complexity rules, the plurality of default complexity rules being additive, the plurality of complexity rules determining whether an application program interface call exists in an application program interface ontology; and,
generating, via the application program interface management engine, a numerical application program interface complexity score for each of the plurality of application program interfaces based upon the analyzing, the application program interface complexity score reflecting a complexity of a corresponding application program interface; and wherein
each application program interface complexity score is associated with a respective application program interface and is stored within an application program interface portal.
