ABSTRACT:
An example of a solution provided here comprises: collecting data from a plurality of probes, including at least one local probe and at least one remote probe; and reporting the data. For example, the reporting may comprise: reporting a first subset of the data that originated from a local probe; reporting a second subset of the data that originated from remote probes; and employing a similar reporting format for said first subset and said second subset. Thus comparison of data from a local probe and data from remote probes may be facilitated. Another example comprises: receiving data from at least one probe; comparing said data with at least one threshold value derived from a service level agreement; and outputting in a special mode any measured response time value that is greater than the corresponding threshold value. The following are provided: methods for performance reporting in a network environment, systems for executing such methods, and instructions on a computer-usable medium, for executing such methods.
