Abstract
Parameters corresponding to a network device are monitored by a widget. The widget may be minimized and occupy a portion of a graphic user interface (GUI), wherein the portion maintains visibility over other portion(s) of the GUI. The minimized widget may be configured to display the parameters of the network device when a certain triggering event occurs, as well as alert a user when the context of any other portion of the GUI corresponds to the parameters of the at least one network device being monitored by the widget.

A method comprising:
- monitoring a network parameter of at least one network device using a widget;
- and
- displaying a minimized version of the widget on a portion of a graphic user interface (GUI), wherein the portion maintains visibility over other portion(s) of the GUI,
- wherein the minimized version of the widget is configured to change states based upon a selected event.

- monitoring a network parameter of at least one network device using a widget;
- and
- displaying a minimized version of the widget on a portion of a graphic user interface (GUI), wherein the portion maintains visibility over other portion(s) of the GUI,
- wherein the minimized version of the widget is configured to change states based upon a selected event.
A computer system comprising:
- a processor;
- a display device coupled to said processor;
- and
- storage coupled to said processor and storing computer-executable instructions for an application which cause said processor to perform the following steps:
- monitoring a network parameter of at least one network device using a widget;
- and
- displaying a minimized version of the widget on a portion of a graphic user interface (GUI), wherein the portion maintains visibility over other portion(s) of the GUI,
