Abstract
A system and method for diagramming a remote hardware system. A method may include receiving data from a monitoring module about hardware components forming the remote hardware system, automatically organizing the data into a logical data structure, representative of the hardware components and communicative connections therebetween, and based on the logical data structure, automatically creating and outputting a visual diagram of the hardware components and the communicative connections therebetween to a display device, the diagram being a schematic representation of the remote hardware system's configuration. In one embodiment, connectivity errors may be automatically identified and flagged in the displayed diagram. Additionally, in some embodiments, the displayed diagram may be interactive, permitting manipulation of one or more of the hardware components or communicative connections therebetween.
