Abstract:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by at least one processor of a computer system, adapt said computer system to implement a method for displaying relative saturation of a computer disk system, said method comprising: visually displaying elements of the computer disk system in an infographic disk activity interface, said elements comprising at least one of a group consisting of at least one disk controller, at least one physical disk, at least one logical disk, at least one file, and at least one other files; visually linking said elements using an arrangement of connectors, said connectors defining respective data flow paths between said elements; and visually indicating disk system activity comprising a relative path saturation of data flow along said data flow paths, the relative path saturation representing activity measurements comprising data flow rate and latency, wherein latency comprises a time to process data flow operations occurring on at least one element of the computer disk system, and wherein visually indicating disk system activity comprises simultaneously representing data flow rate and latency in a single line having at least two visual attributes, whereby the visual attributes indicate data flow rate and latency along respective data flow paths such that relative disk system activity creating a bottleneck of data flow along any given data flow path can be visually determined.
