Abstract
A dynamic content delivery network node metrics reporting include a graphical display map, a multitude of components distributed across a heterogeneous network, and a plurality of agents. The graphical display map can display a plurality of nodes and visual representations of reported metric values for characterizing the components, where the nodes can represent the components. Individual ones of the nodes can include a multitude of the visual representations. The agents can probe the components for component metric values. The agents can determine the reported metric values based upon the component metric values and can convey the reported metric values to the appropriate locations within the graphical display map.
