Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for providing a topology navigator that may enable a user to view performance information for multiple IT services associated with a user's IT environment. The topology navigator may include multiple display components for displaying information about the services. A first display component may display multiple services as a graph of interdependent service nodes and a second display component may display information about one or more of the service nodes. The topology navigator may enable a user to visually inspect the aggregate KPI (e.g., health score) of multiple services to identify dependent services that are of interest (e.g., low performance) and navigate through the services to identify dependent services that may adversely affect a service of interest to the user. In one example, the second display component may display key performance indicators (KPIs) associated with the dependent service and the user may select one or more of the KPIs to add them to another display component for further analysis.
