Abstract
Systems and methods to generate an icon that visually represents a server. An input associated with a server is identified. The input (e.g., a MAC address) includes a vendor identifier having a hexadecimal value. The hexadecimal value of the vendor identifier is converted to a first decimal value and mapped to a corresponding value on a red, blue, green (RGB) scale to determine a color. The icon is generated having the color and displayed as a visual representation of the server.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- identifying, by a processing device, an input associated with a first server, the input comprising a vendor identifier comprising a first hexadecimal value;
- converting the first hexadecimal value of the vendor identifier to a first decimal value;
- mapping the first decimal value of the vendor identifier to a corresponding first value on a red, green, blue (RGB) scale to determine a first color;
- generating an icon having the first color;
- and
- causing a display of the icon that visually represents the first server.
A system comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processing device operatively coupled to the memory, the processing device to:
- identify a media access control (MAC) address associated with a first server, the MAC address comprising a vendor identifier comprising a first hexadecimal value;
- convert the first hexadecimal value of the vendor identifier to a first decimal value;
- map the first decimal value of the vendor identifier of the MAC address to a corresponding first value on a red, green, blue (RGB) scale to determine a first color;
- generate an icon having the first color;
- and
- cause a display of the shape-based icon that visually represents the first server.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions that, if executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:
- identify an input associated with a first server, the input comprising a vendor identifier comprising a first hexadecimal value;
- convert the first hexadecimal value of the vendor identifier to a first decimal value;
- map the first decimal value of the vendor identifier to a corresponding first value on a red, green, blue (RGB) scale to determine a first color;
- generate an icon having the first color;
- and
- cause a display of the icon that visually represents the first server.
