Abstract
A method and system create a model of a set of relationships between a set of parent computer network objects and a set of corresponding child computer network objects, over a period of time, and output a user interface graphing the model in a single view to illustrate the set of relationships over the period of time. The parent computer network objects include virtual machines and the child computer network objects include hosts. The user interface includes a search option to provide for a search of problems with the child computer network objects over the period of time.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- creating, by a microprocessor of a computing device, a model of a set of relationships between a set of parent virtual machines and a corresponding set of child hosts, over a period of time;
- and
- displaying, on a display of the computing device, a user interface graphing the model in a single view to illustrate the set of relationships over the period of time.
A method comprising:
- creating, by a microprocessor of a computing device, a model of a set of relationships between a set of parent computer network objects and a corresponding set of child computer network objects, over a period of time;
- displaying, on a display of the computing device, a graph time layer graphing the model and a status of each of the set of relationships, wherein each status is depicted at intervals over the period of time;
- and
- displaying, on the display, a search option to provide for a search of problems with the child computer network objects over the period of time.
A system comprising:
- a display;
- a memory including executable instructions;
- and
- a processor operably coupled to the memory and configured to execute the executable instructions to cause the system to:
- access a model of a set of relationships between a set of parent virtual machines and a set of corresponding child hosts, over a period of time;
- and
- output on the display a user interface graphing the model in a single view to illustrate the set of relationships over the period of time and a status of each of the set of relationships, wherein each status is depicted at intervals over the period of time.
