Display monitoring status of information processing devices

A display control method comprising:

• generating identification information that represents at least some of communication bodies included in one of groups, in which a plurality of communication bodies capable of communicating in an information processing system are classified,
• generating identification information collectively representing a group set that represents two or more groups among the plurality of groups;
• and
• for each of the communication bodies in the information processing system, selecting, based on a size of a display region needed to display information of a communication body, specific identification information from the generated identification information, and
• if size of a display region needed to display information of a communication body is greater than a predetermined size, displaying device identification information representing the communication bodies, and if size of the display region needed to display information of a communication body is less than the predetermined size, displaying group identification information representing the group information and the specific identification information;
• displaying first information including first identification information in the generated identification information in accordance with a certain display level specified by a change signal of changing a display level regarding the first identification information to the certain display level while the display displays the first information;
• and
• determining, based on a size of a display region regarding the first identification information, whether or not to display second identification information different from the first identification information in the first information in accordance with a second display level different from the certain display level and controls to display the second identification information in accordance with the second display level when determining that the second identification information is displayed in accordance with the second display level.

A non-transitory recording medium storing a display control program recorded therein, the program making a computer achieve:

• a first identification information generation function configured to generate first identification information that represents at least some of communication bodies included in one of groups, in which a plurality of communication bodies capable of communicating in an information processing system are classified,
• a second identification information generation function configured to generate second identification information collectively representing a group set that represents two or more groups among the plurality of groups;
• and
• a control function configured to control to, for each of the communication bodies in the information processing system, select, based on a size of a display region needed to display information of a communication body, specific identification information from the generated identification information, and
• if size of a display region needed to display information of a communication body is greater than a predetermined size, displaying device identification information representing the communication bodies, and if size of the display region needed to display information of a communication body is less than the predetermined size, displaying group identification information representing the group and the specific identification information;
• displaying first information including first identification information in the generated identification information in accordance with a certain display level specified by a change signal of changing a display level regarding the first identification information to the certain display level while the display displays the first information;
• and
• determining, based on a size of a display region regarding the first identification information, whether or not to display second identification information different from the first identification information in the first information in accordance with a second display level different from the certain display level and controls to display the second identification information in accordance with the second display level when determining that the second identification information is displayed in accordance with the second display level.
