Method for configuring displets for an interactive platform for analyzing a computer network performance

1. A method for configuring an interactive platform for monitoring the performance and the quality of a computer network, the monitoring data being suitable to be displayed on a dynamic page of type webpage in a form of graphic components called data display elements, comprising:

providing on the interactive platform, a configuration interface in which are defined, for two or more given users;

providing first filtering criteria for displaying the data display elements, said first criteria being defined in the form of parameters for configuring the rights of said two or more users;

saving said parameters in a platform database;

using a user configuration interface, providing second filtering criteria as alphanumeric information to be included in a uniform resource locator (URL) submitted via a web browser on the data display elements;

combining said first filtering criteria and said second filtering criteria defined in the URL to affect authorization of said users;

establishing an exhaustive list of shared criteria at a level of said parameters of said users, said shared criteria being combinable with existing filtering criteria based on a review of an inheritance hierarchy between said users;

systematically using said combined criteria, by said components on a server side, for each request to the database; and

displaying the data display elements based on said combined filtering criteria to said users.

2. The method according to claim 1 , characterized in that said combined criteria are systematically activated by the interactive platform in order to ensure secure access to data.

3. The method according to claim 1 , characterized in that said combined criteria are applied to a given group of data display elements.

4. The method according to claim 1 , characterized in that said combined criteria are applied to the set of data display elements for different pages.

5. The method according to claim 1 , characterized in that said combined criteria are applied to a group of users.

6. The method according to claim 5 , characterized in that said combined criteria are applied to each user of the group by inheritance.

7. The method according to claim 5 , characterized in that each group is organized according to a multi-level tree structure, and in that specific combined criteria are defined for a given tree structure level.

8. The method according to claim 7 , characterized in that said specific combined criteria are combined further with the criteria defined at the group level.

9. The method according to claim 7 , characterized in that said specific combined criteria replace, for said given level, the criteria defined at the group level.

10. The method according to claim 1 , characterized in that the rights of a given user are restricted to the definition and the visibility of said combined criteria.

11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said combined criteria for displaying the data display elements are hierarchically defined.
