Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method for displaying performance data for a computing environment, the method comprising: determining performance states for a plurality of entities that comprise the computing environment by comparing values of a performance metric for the entities against one or more state-specific thresholds over a selected time interval; displaying the computing environment as a tree comprising nodes representing the plurality of entities and edges representing parent-child relationships between the plurality of entities; and for each leaf node in the tree, displaying the leaf node as a shape comprising an indicator for a performance state associated with the leaf node; for each parent node in the tree, determining counts for one or more performance states associated with a set of descendent nodes of the parent node; displaying the parent node as an outer ring and surrounding an inner circular shape, wherein the outer ring comprises visually distinct sections associated with the one or more performance states, wherein the visually distinct sections are sized proportionately with the determined counts for the one or more performance states; and within the inner circular shape, displaying an identifier for a type of entity represented by the parent node and an indicator of the performance state of the parent node, wherein the performance state of the parent node is determined based on a worst performance state of one or more descendent nodes of the parent node.
