ABSTRACT:
A method of displaying information relating to performance of a computer resource over a preselected period of time, wherein the computer resource is connected to a communication network and the method includes the steps of: from a location on the network that is remote from the computer resource, periodically sampling data relating to performance of the resource so as to generate stored values for a preselected performance variable for that resource, wherein the periodic sampling takes place over a preselected period of time and the preselected performance variable takes on values within a specified range of possible values; dividing the specified range of possible values for the preselected performance variable into a plurality of subranges; for each subrange, determining for what proportion of the preselected period, the values of the preselected performance variable fall within that subrange; and for each subrange, displaying in graphical form the proportion of the preselected period of time that the values of the preselected performance variable fell within that subrange.
