System monitoring is a practice that is frequent within companies providing digital products to consumers and is a common way to help developers contribute to a good enduser experience by ensuring a high availability and good performance of the product. This thesis is a design-driven exploratory study on designing interaction and visualization for system monitoring data, using web technologies. The design space spans over interaction design and technical domains, exploring system monitoring data interaction and visualization from an HCI perspective as well as technical possibilities and limitations of the web platform. An artifact embodying new ideas and design visions regarding the topic is created in close collaboration with the target users. The artifact expresses possible and potentially valuable inventions regarding exploration of system monitoring data. It also emphasizes the close relationship between system monitoring and physical space and how the interaction with it can provide a useful sense of place to the data. Technical insights and good practices regarding developing performant data visualization user interfaces is also presented and motivated, where two methods providing different strengths and weaknesses are described.
