Device Performance Monitoring

Abstract

A computing device performance monitor may be configured to collect performance metric information regarding one or more monitored computing devices, and may assign condition point values to each metric. The performance monitor may generate a total of the condition point values, and use the total to determine an appropriate response.

1 . A method, comprising:
 identifying a plurality of performance metrics for a monitored computing device;   identifying, for each performance metric, a first metric range and a second metric range;   identifying a corresponding condition point value for each of the first and second metric ranges;   determining a performance value for the monitored computing device by:
 determining a measured value for each of the plurality of performance metrics for the monitored computing device; 
 assigning a condition point value to the monitored computing device for each of the measured values using a corresponding performance metric and the corresponding performance metric's first and second ranges; and 
 combining the assigned condition point values for the monitored computing device to yield a combined condition point value; and 
   using the combined condition point value to generate a message indicating performance of the monitored computing device.
