Abstract
Displaying information technology conditions with heat maps includes determining a severity value of current issues for each configuration item in an information technology system; generating a graph of the configuration items that visually depicts topological relationships between the configuration items, the graph having a heat map overlay; and assigning pixel colors for each configuration item in the heat map overlay according to their severity value.
Claims15
A computer program product for displaying information technology conditions with heat maps, comprising:
- a tangible computer readable storage medium, said tangible computer readable storage medium comprising computer readable program code embodied therewith, said computer readable program code comprising program instructions that, when executed, causes a processor to:
- determine a severity value of current issues for each configuration item in an information technology system;
- generate a graph of said configuration items that visually depicts topological relationships between said configuration items, said graph comprising a heat map overlay;
- and
- assign pixel colors for each configuration item in said heat map overlay according to their severity value.
A system for displaying information technology conditions with heat maps, comprising:
- a monitoring engine to identify current issues of configuration items in an information technology system;
- a graphing engine to generate a graph of said configuration items in their topological relationships;
- and
- a heat map engine to:
- overlay a heat map overlay on said graph;
- locate a corresponding position of said configuration items in said heat map overlay;
- assign severity pixel colors for each configuration item with said current issues in said heat map overlay according to a severity value;
- and
- assign a second pixel color for each configuration item without said current issues in said heat map overlay.
A method for displaying information technology conditions with heat maps, comprising:
- determining a severity value of current issues for each configuration item in an information technology system;
- generating a graph of said configuration items that visually depicts topological relationships between said configuration items;
- overlaying a heat map overlay on said graph;
- locating a corresponding position of said configuration items in said heat map overlay;
- and
- assigning pixel colors for each configuration item in said heat map overlay according to said severity value associated with each configuration item.
