Visualization device, visualization system, and visualization method

A visualization system comprising:

• one or a plurality of host servers for hosting a virtual system that comprises virtual machines communicating via a virtual network;
• and
• a visualization device communicable with a display device, the visualization device comprising
• a storage;
• one or more processors coupled to the storage and configured to
• collect configuration information on the virtual system and the host servers,
• cause the configuration information to be stored in the storage,
• express virtual machines and virtual networks configuring the virtual system with different axes based on the configuration information stored in the storage,
• express a connection relationship between the virtual machines and the virtual networks by linking lines indicating the virtual machines and lines indicating the virtual networks,
• group the virtual machines of every host server on which the virtual machines operate,
• generate drawing information for expressing the configuration of the virtual system and the host servers, and
• output the drawing information to the display device,
• wherein the one or more processors is further configured to
• indicate the virtual machines in a horizontal direction and indicate the virtual networks in a vertical direction, and
• when a virtual machine is connected to a plurality of virtual networks, generate drawing information for drawing the virtual machine between the lines indicating the plurality of virtual networks.

A visualization method in a visualization device which is communicable with one or a plurality of host servers for hosting a virtual system that comprises virtual machines communicating via a virtual network, the method comprising:

• collecting configuration information on the virtual system and the host servers;
• expressing virtual machines and virtual networks configuring the virtual system with different axes based on the configuration information;
• expressing a connection relationship between the virtual machines and the virtual networks by linking lines indicating the virtual machines and lines indicating the virtual networks;
• grouping the virtual machines of every host server on which the virtual machines operate;
• generating drawing information for expressing the configuration of the virtual system and the host servers;
• and
• outputting the drawing information to a display device communicable with the visualization device,
• wherein the virtual machines are indicated in a horizontal direction and the virtual networks are indicated in a vertical direction, and when a virtual machine is connected to a plurality of virtual networks, drawing information for drawing the virtual machine between the lines indicating the plurality of virtual networks is generated.
