Abstract
A graphical user interface for displaying information related to a virtual machine network is disclosed. In an embodiment, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores instructions that, when executed by a computer, enable a graphical user interface to be displayed. The graphical user interface displays information related to a virtual machine network and includes a chart having error indicators organized in rows and columns, wherein an error indicator corresponds to an entity in the virtual machine network at a time and indicates a state of the entity at that time.
Claims21
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a computer, enable a graphical user interface to be displayed, wherein the graphical user interface displays information related to a virtual machine network, the graphical user interface comprising:
- a chart comprising error indicators organized in rows and columns, wherein an error indicator corresponds to an entity in the virtual machine network at a time and indicates a state of the entity at that time;
- and
- a zoom navigator window that indicates a portion of error indicators displayed in the chart, wherein the portion of error indicators is part of a set of error indicators corresponding to error indicators within a defined scope.
A computer-implemented method for displaying information related to a virtual machine network, the method comprising:
- displaying a chart on a display device, the chart comprising error indicators organized in rows and columns, wherein an error indictor corresponds to an entity in the virtual machine network at a time and indicates a state of the entity at that time;
- and
- displaying a zoom navigator window that indicates a portion of error indicators displayed in the chart, wherein the portion of error indicators is part of a set of error indicators corresponding to error indicators within a defined scope.
A computer-implemented system for displaying a graphical user interface, wherein the graphical user interface displays information related to a virtual machine network, the graphical user interface comprising:
- a chart on a display device, the chart comprising error indicators organized in rows and columns, wherein an error indictor corresponds to an entity in the virtual machine network at a time and wherein an error indicator indicates a state of the entity at that time;
- and
- a zoom navigator window that indicates a portion of error indicators displayed in the chart, wherein the portion of error indicators is part of a set of error indicators corresponding to error indicators within a defined scope.
