Abstract:
1. A method for summarizing changes between a first set of metrics for an application and a second set of metrics for the application, the method comprising: obtaining the first set of metrics for the application; categorizing the first set of metrics; obtaining the second set of metrics for the application; categorizing the second set of metrics; using a statistical process to determine metrics that should be displayed; organizing the metrics into a metric tree data structure that is hierarchical, including parent metrics and child submetrics; displaying the organized metrics in the tree data structure which have been determined to be displayed such that metrics are selectable with a single user input; and in response to receiving a selection of a metric via the single user input, displaying traffic categories and submetrics that are children of the metric within the tree data structure wherein obtaining the first set of metrics or the second set of metrics includes obtaining data from data tables which contain at least one column of measure and one column of dimension and wherein a configuration file is received that includes the location of the data table, the format of the data, the mappings from internal names to display names for values of dimensions, at least one formula for a metric that is the ratio of two measures, and the structure of the first and second set of metrics.
