Method and system for visualizing distributed systems
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring distributed systems, comprising:
- receiving a plurality of availability parameters for a plurality of distributed systems, each distributed system of the plurality of distributed systems corresponding to at least one respective distributed system group of a plurality of distributed system groups;
determining, by a processor, a status of at least one distributed system of a respective distributed system group according to the plurality of availability parameters; and
generating grid map image data operable to initiate display of a grid map comprising;
one or more areas, each area corresponding to a respective distributed system group of the plurality of distributed system groups, each area comprising;
one or more cells, each cell having;
a status indicator indicating the status of the at least one distributed system of the respective distributed system group; and
a display size indicating a relative importance of the at least one distributed system of the respective distributed system group; and
transmitting the grid map image data to a client in order to display the grid map.

Abstract
Monitoring distributed systems includes receiving availability parameters for distributed systems. A distributed system corresponds to at least one distributed system group. A status of at least one distributed system is determined according to the availability parameters. Grid map image data is generated that is operable to initiate display of a grid map. The grid map includes one or more areas. An area corresponds to a distributed system group. An area includes one or more cells. A cell has a status indicator indicating the status of at least one distributed system. A cell also has a display size indicating a relative importance of at least one distributed system. The grid map image data is transmitted to a client in order to display the grid map.
