System and Method for Assessing and Indicating the Health of Components
First Claim
1. A method to indicate the health status of an IT component and at least one IT subcomponent, wherein the IT component is dependent on the at least one IT subcomponent, using one or more programmable processing devices programmed to perform the acts of:
- computing a component health status of the IT component on a programmable processing device;
computing a subcomponent health status for each the at least one IT subcomponent;
rendering health status of the IT component by showing a first indicator for the IT component and a second indicator for the at least one IT subcomponent subcomponents, wherein the first and second indicators are each separately visible at the same time in a single display window.

Abstract
A system and method for visualization of the components of an enterprise system and the rendering of information about the health or status of the enterprise system, its components, and/or its subcomponents. The invention uses a combination of color codes or other indicators and a combination of algorithms and/or rules-based systems to control the computation of status/severities to associate to components and setup the color codes and indicators.

12. A method for indicating network element status, comprising:
-
determining a first status of a first network element; determining an aggregate status of a second one or more network elements, wherein the second one or more network elements are operatively coupled to the first network element; displaying the status of the first network element using a first indicator; and displaying the aggregate status of the second one or more network elements using a second indicator, wherein the first and second indicators are in spatial contact. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A networked computer system, comprising:
-
a network; a plurality of network components communicatively coupled to the network; at least one programmable processing device programmed to; determine a first status of a first network element; determine an aggregate status of a second one or more network elements, wherein the second one or more network elements are operatively coupled to the first network element; provide an indication for displaying the status of the first network element using a first indicator; and provide an indication for displaying the aggregate status of the second one or more network elements using a second indicator, wherein the first and second indicators are in spatial contact.
