Abstract:
1. A computer implemented system for monitoring and correlating information related to website performance, analytics, and health, the system comprising: a performance system that monitors the performance of a website via a data communication network and stores performance related information in a computer readable medium, the performance system comprising a data gatherer in communication with a remote monitoring agent via the data communication network, wherein the data gatherer receives performance related information from said remote monitoring agent; an analytics system that monitors visitor traffic to the website via the data communication network and stores traffic related information in the data storage area; an application health system that monitors the status of applications hosted by the website via a data communication network and stores application health related information in the data storage area; a correlation system that accesses the performance, traffic, and health related information stored in the data storage area, the correlation system comprising an expert system that analyzes the performance, traffic, and health related information to identify two or more performance events, wherein each performance event has an associated time period and applies a rule set to the analyzed information to identify correlations between performance and traffic information, performance and health information, and traffic and health information; wherein the identified correlations comprise conclusions in cause and effect format based on performance events having overlapping time periods; and wherein the correlation system provides a visual representation of the identified correlations on a display.
