A computing system for determining performance factors for using in performance modeling of a deployed subject system, is presented. The computing system includes a plurality of software components comprising the subject system. Each of the components is susceptible to event tracing while executing on the computing system. The computing system includes a tracing component. The tracing component is configured to trace events of the components of the subject system as they execute. The computing system includes a transaction identification table. The transaction identification table comprises starting and ending actions for transactions performed by the subject system. The computing system also includes a transaction identification component that identifies actions from traced events, identifies related actions corresponding to a transaction according to the starting and ending actions in the transaction identification table, and stores the related actions in the transaction workflow data store.

Systems and methods for displaying hierarchical data are described. In an implementation, a method includes processing hierarchical data describing a distributed computing environment. The hierarchical data includes a plurality of levels, in which, at least one of the levels includes a plurality of containers, each of the containers includes one or more items, and each of the items is disposed in another level that is a child of the at least one level. The processed hierarchical data is output for display in a single window on a display device such that the hierarchical data indicates a relationship between each of the items and a respective one of the containers and is configured such that each of the items may be edited without interacting with another window.
