    Abstract: A data analysis system processes data generated by instrumented software. The data analysis system receives data streams generated by instances of instrumented software executing on systems. The data analysis system also receives metadata describing data streams. The data analysis system receives an expression based on the metadata. The data analysis system receives data of data streams for each time interval and computes the result of the expression based on the received data values. The data analysis system repeats these steps for each time interval. The data analysis system may quantize data values of data streams for each time interval by generating an aggregate value for the time interval based on data received for each data stream for that time interval. The data analysis system evaluates the expression using the quantized data for the time interval.

    Abstract: Tools and techniques for collecting data from target systems without the need for installation of expensive and high-maintenance software agents on the target systems. In some cases, these tools can be used to collect performance data from collection targets while still allowing the operator(s) of the collection targets to govern the access of the tools, alleviating security concerns. Merely by way of example, certain tools employ data collection scripts, which may be analyzed by the collection target against security policies of that collection target, to ensure that the scripts will not take any actions that might violate such security policies. Other tools may be used to collect data in real time by transmitting a script for immediate execution by the host system, which could then return the data produced by the script immediately upon completion (and/or as part of execution of the script).

    Abstract: A monitoring system is arranged for automatically and dynamically discovering local applications running on servers in an enterprise-scale service environment as well as discovering external resources (both partitioned and non-partitioned resources) that the local applications use. The discovered objects and their dependencies are instantiated into a health map and the map is dynamically updated as applications and resources are added to and deleted from the enterprise-scale service environment. Health indicators such as events, performance counters, synthetic transactions, and SysLog and SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) service events for the mapped objects are monitored. The monitored health indicators are attributed to either the health of a local application or that of an external resource. Upon detection of a fault, the health map enables performance of root cause analyses and determination of the impact of the fault on the objects in the environment so that appropriate alerts can be raised.
