CONSOLIDATED DISPLAY OF RESOURCE PERFORMANCE TRENDS

A consolidated representation of performance trends for a plurality of resources in a data processing system is generated. Recent performance measurement data for the plurality of resources is retrieved along with historical performance measurement data for the plurality of resources. For each resource, an associated performance trend is determined based on an analysis of the recent performance measurement data and the historical performance measurement data. A single consolidated graphical representation of the plurality of resources is generated based on the associated performance trends. Each resource in the plurality of resources may have a separate representation within the single consolidated graphical representation positioned within the single consolidated graphical representation based on a recent performance trend and an associated historical performance trend. The single consolidated graphical representation may be output for use by a user to identify areas of the data processing system requiring the user's attention.
