1. A method of providing condition information associated with an entity being analyzed, the method comprising:
- presenting nodes corresponding to components of the entity according to a tree-form configuration; and
providing condition information associated with at least one of the components using the nodes,wherein providing the condition information comprises;
propagating a highest alert state out of different states of child node(s) to a corresponding parent node; and
providing both a status indicator and a validity indicator to each node, said status indicator taking on the highest alert state out of different states of its child node(s) and said validity indicator indicating a status of only a respective node.

9. A method of displaying system information, the method comprising:
-
displaying at least one first-level node representing a first-level of information associated with said system; providing a switch associated with said at least one first-level node; and providing condition information associated with at least one of the components using the nodes, wherein providing the condition information comprises; propagating a highest alert state out of different states of child node(s) to a corresponding parent node; and providing both a status indicator and a validity indicator to each node, said status indicator taking on the highest alert state out of different states of its child node(s), and said validity indicator indicating a status of only a respective node, wherein an actuation of said switch causes at least one associated next-level node to be displayed. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A system for providing condition information associated with an entity being analyzed, the system comprising:
-
means for presenting nodes corresponding to components of the entity according to a tree-form configuration; and means for providing condition information associated with at least one of the components using the nodes, wherein the means for providing condition information comprises; means for propagating a highest alert state out of different states of child node(s) to a corresponding parent node; and means for providing both a status indicator and a validity indicator to each node, said status indicator taking on the highest alert state out of different states of its child node(s), and said validity indicator indicating a status of only a corresponding node. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
