ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are disclosed which provide solutions to the problems which are encountered in an object oriented, distributed computer system in which attempts are made to monitor and display performance characteristics of objects in the system, where no prior knowledge of the objects exists. The invention disclosed herein is a generic monitoring and display system which can obtain performance data from and about objects and display the data in an appropriate manner without having to create special one time data acquisition and display programs, and which can select an appropriate display type based upon a display indicator contained in the captured data. Additionally, a tabular object is disclosed which can be used by operating objects to facilitate operating data collection and reporting.
