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 that includes virtual machines, over a time period;
- and
- displaying historical data, on a display of the computing device, in a user interface graphing the model in a single view to illustrate changes in the set of relationships between a user-selected first and second time period, the view including changes in status corresponding to one or more virtual machines with a warning status or a critical status.
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:
- create, by a microprocessor of a computing device, a model of a set of relationships that includes virtual machines, over a time period;
- and
- display historical data, on the display of the computing device, in a user interface graphing the model in a single view to illustrate changes in the set of relationships between a user-selected first and second time period, the view including a status change indicator corresponding to one or more virtual machines with a warning status or a critical status.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including code segments that when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
- create, by a microprocessor of a computing device, a model of a set of relationships that includes virtual machines, over a time period;
- and
- display historical data, on a display of the computing device, in a user interface graphing the model in a single view to illustrate changes in the set of relationships between a user-selected first and second time period, the view including changes in status corresponding to one or more virtual machines with a warning status or a critical status.
