SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING PARENT STATES OF PARENT COMPONENTS IN A VIRTUAL-MACHINE ENVIRONMENT BASED ON PERFORMANCE STATES OF RELATED CHILD COMPONENTS AND COMPONENT STATE CRITERIA DURING A USER-SELECTED TIME PERIOD

Techniques promote monitoring of hypervisor systems by presenting dynamic representations of hypervisor architectures that include performance indicators. A reviewer can interact with the representation to progressively view select lower-level performance indicators. Higher level performance indicators can be determined based on lower level state assessments. A reviewer can also view historical performance metrics and indicators, which can aid in understanding which configuration changes or system usages may have led to sub-optimal performance.
