Claim One:
1. A method comprising: obtaining metric dependency model, the obtained model specifying (a) that a source metric of a plurality of available metrics is related to a first related metric of the plurality of available metrics, (b) a first type of system component from which the source metric is available, and (c) a second type of system component from which the first related metric is available; binding the metric dependency model to a particular networked system environment, the particular networked system environment comprising an instance of the first type of system component and an instance of the second type of system component; wherein binding the metric dependency model to the particular networked system environment comprises: identifying, in a management repository, based on the first type of system component specified in the model, the instance of the first type of system component, identifying, in the management repository, based on the second type of system component specified in the model, the instance of the second type of system component, obtaining, from the management repository, based on the source metric specified in the model and the identified instance of the first type of system component, first metric data corresponding to the source metric that was collected from the identified instance of the first type of system component, and obtaining, from the management repository, based on the first related metric specified in the model and the identified instance of the second type of system component, second metric data corresponding to the first related metric that was collected from the identified instance of the second type of system component; and causing concurrent display of the first metric data and the second metric data in a manner that facilitates visual comparison of the source metric to the first related metric; wherein the method is performed by one or more computing devices.
