Abstract
We present LiveRAC, a visualization system that supports
the analysis of large collections of system management timeseries
data consisting of hundreds of parameters across thousands
of network devices. LiveRAC provides high information
density using a reorderable matrix of charts, with semantic
zooming adapting each chart's visual representation
to the available space. LiveRAC allows side-by-side visual
comparison of arbitrary groupings of devices and parameters
at multiple levels of detail. A staged design and development
process culminated in the deployment of LiveRAC in
a production environment. We conducted an informal longitudinal
evaluation of LiveRAC to better understand which
proposed visualization techniques were most useful in the
target environment.
