Operation information management images

Abstract

This image is for managing the operation information of multiple devices. When multiple devices (server computers, storage devices, routers, etc.) used for a service in an information processing system used by a user are rented out under contract, the rental contract periods of the devices may differ from one another. In this case, when the device at the upper or lower level of the system becomes unavailable due to the expiration of the rental contract period, it will affect other devices at the lower or higher level whose rental contract period has not yet expired, and will also affect the operation of the service. The "image diagram" displays multiple devices during the rental contract period as icons. When a user selects and displays a desired icon in the "image diagram" state, the display transitions to the "image diagram showing the changed state," and the background of other icons that may be affected by the icon is highlighted with the icon at the center, and the current contract status, etc. are displayed near the icon with a message frame. This makes it possible to prevent the impact from occurring.
