    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for presenting information about a network, virtualization infrastructure, cluster, or other computing environment, and may involve presentation of user interfaces that may enable nuanced, unique, and/or comprehensive insights into how infrastructure elements and computing resources are being used and information about patterns of usage and/or utilization. This disclosure also describes techniques for communicating, within a computing system, information used to create, update, and/or modify the user interfaces that present information about a network, virtualization infrastructure, cluster, or other computing environment. Techniques in accordance with one or more aspects of the present disclosure may involve use of separate interfaces for collecting or accessing data used to draw a user interface that presents information about a network, and for collecting or receiving data used to update the user interface as changes occur to the utilization of infrastructure elements represented within the user interface.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for monitoring, scheduling, and performance management for virtualization infrastructures within networks. In one example, a computing system includes a plurality of different cloud-based compute clusters (e.g., different cloud projects), each comprising a set of compute nodes. Policy agents execute on the compute nodes to monitor performance and usage metrics relating to resources of the compute nodes. Policy controllers within each cluster deploy policies to the policy agents and evaluate performance and usage metrics from the policy agents by application of one or more rulesets for infrastructure elements of the compute cluster. Each of the policy controllers outputs data to a multi-cluster dashboard software system indicative of a current health status for the infrastructure elements based on the evaluation of the performance and usage metrics for the cluster. The multi-cluster dashboard software system data outputs, as single user interface screen, the current health status for each of the cloud-based compute clusters.

    Abstract: A variety of different graphical user interfaces are generated that when displayed provide a visual and interactive representation of one or more performance metrics associated with the operation of a computer network. The graphical user interfaces may be used to monitor the underlay computer network for a virtualization infrastructure, as one example. Aspects include grouping the servers of a computer network into a plurality of aggregates, each aggregate comprising one or more servers. A set of probes are configured that are issued by an agent of a server in one aggregate and sent through the computer network to one or more agents in the server(s) of a different aggregate. Responses and other measurements taken based on the issuance of the probes is gathered and analyzed to generate metrics that are then used to generate, at least in part, the information provided in the graphical user interfaces.

    Abstract: A policy controller executes algorithms to operate on a list of devices forming a computer network to generate outputs including one or more graphic user interfaces. The graphic user interfaces, when displayed on a display device, provide various versions of a visual representation of a network topology for the actual computer network or a computer network being modeled. The graphic user interfaces include graphic symbols representative of various devices included in the computer network that are arranged into one or more radial arrangements. The graphic user interfaces include graphic lines indicative of the physical interconnections between the devices, the graphic lines extending across the radial arrangement(s) and extending between the graphic symbols representative of devices to provide a visual representation of the interconnections that communicatively couple the devices. Additional graphic symbols and graphic lines represent interconnections between the devices and one or more compute nodes included in the computer network.

    Abstract: Techniques for presenting information about a network, virtualization infrastructure, cluster, or other computing environment, which may involve presentation of user interfaces that may enable nuanced, unique, and/or comprehensive insights into how infrastructure elements, instances, and/or computing resources are being used and information about patterns of usage and/or utilization. Techniques for communicating, within a computing system, information used to create, update, and/or modify the user interfaces that present information about a network, virtualization infrastructure, cluster, or other computing environment. Techniques in accordance with one or more aspects of the present disclosure may involve use of separate interfaces for collecting or accessing data used to draw a user interface that presents information about a network, and for collecting or receiving data used to update the user interface as changes occur to the utilization of infrastructure elements represented within the user interface.
