First Claim
1. A computer-implemented network diagnostics system, comprising:
- a system management module, coupled to a communications network and a network accessible storage via a network interface of the system management module, wherein the system management module comprises a digital data processor coupled to a memory, wherein he digital data processor is configured to perform operations according to instructions stored on the memory, the operations comprising;
directing a server coupled to the communications network to display a plurality of respective status indicators for a plurality of client resources of the communications network, wherein the plurality of client resources comprise components of the communications network and services provided by said components, and wherein each status indicator represents a functional state of a corresponding client resource of the plurality of client resources;
identifying one or more client resources of the plurality of client resources experiencing a functional impairment;
applying an impact analysis framework to determine the functional impairment experienced by the one or more client resources of the plurality of client resources is causally related to a maintenance operation based on a notification of the maintenance operation received from a client computer of a plurality client computers coupled to the communications network; and
directing the server to update the respective status indicators associated with the one or more client resources of the plurality of client resources whose functional impairment is causally related to the maintenance operation to reflect that the respective client resource is undergoing maintenance.
