In a distributed computing environment, a method, system and program product for monitoring, from a client computer system the performance of an application program residing on a server computer system. A probe program residing at the client computer generates requests for the services of the application program and records transaction records based upon service responses therefrom. The requests and transaction record generation is controlled by a set of probe configuration information at the client computer. Transaction records are provided to a central repository whereat statistical information is pre-processed and inserted into statistics tables. A display system enables a computer user to interactively request and view a plurality of displays of data sets of the monitoring data. Each data set includes data elements which may be interactively indicated by the viewer to cause the retrieval and display of related data sets having data elements associated with those in the original display.

[ Having now described our invention in detail, what we consider as new and desire to protect via Letters Patent is as follows:] [1.] In a computer network, a method for interactively retrieving and displaying on a viewer's computer a plurality of data sets each including one or more data elements stored in a remote repository wherein the data elements in a first data set are associated with the data elements in one or more second data sets, the method comprising the steps of: receiving a request from the viewer's computer for the display of the first data set; retrieving the data elements of said first data set from said remote repository in response to said receiving step; displaying said first data set on said viewer's computer, said displayed first data set including said one or more data elements, each of said displayed one or more data elements including a dynamic link to one or more of said second data sets, said dynamic links responsive to interactions from the viewer of said displayed first data set; receiving an interaction at the viewer's computer from a viewer of said displayed first data set, said interaction indicating one of said data elements having said dynamic link to one or more of said second data sets; retrieving the data elements of said one or more dynamic linked second data sets from said repository as indicated by the received interaction; and displaying said one or more second data sets having said associated data elements therein; said plurality of data sets including data elements related to the implementation of a computer related process; said computer related process corresponding to the responses of a monitored application program running on a server computer in a network of computers to service requests from a client computer in said network of computers; and said data sets further including said data elements coresponding to the response times of said monitored application program running on said server computer to said service requests, said response times being recorded at the client computer.
