Local and remote processes can be controlled from a data processing system performance monitor. Multiple processes can be controlled concurrently with a single action selected. Processes to be controlled can be ranked when presented to a user, to assist in determining problematic processes that need attention. Process data is captured dynamically at local and remote processes using a daemon to minimize system overhead in monitoring and controlling processes.

Optimizing of performance data in a data processing system is provided by the use of data filters and alarms. Statistics to be monitored are a conglomeration of both system statistics and statistics made available by application programs, both on local and remote data processing systems. The statistics are filtered using combinations of arithmetic and boolean operators. A single filtered condition can invoke multiple alarm responses, and multiple alarm conditions can trigger the same alarm response. Feedback of filtered statistics is provided so that such statistics can be monitored and recorded in the same manner as normal system statistics.

A system and method for concurrently recording and displaying of system performance data. System statistical data which is useful in determining the overall performance of a data processing system is captured, displayed, and recorded for subsequent playback. Based on the modular design, real time data can be concurrently captured, displayed and recorded. Attributes of the data can also be modified concurrently with the capture and display of data. Previously recorded data can also be displayed while concurrently capturing and recording other/additional data. A user interface is provided to conveniently control the concurrent operations. The data being displayed can be manipulated by a user to resize, move and scroll data being displayed without disturbing the underlying capture and recording of data. When the user interactions terminate, the display screen reflects the changes made, without loss of data. Multiple categories of process data can be viewed on a single timeline graph.
