Abstract
The invention features a method and apparatus for displaying the status of networked resources, including rendering in a fishbone layout a hierarchy that includes a plurality of resource profiles and a plurality of dependency relationships among resource profiles in the plurality of resource profiles, where the resource profiles represent networked resources. The invention also features a method and apparatus for displaying the status of networked resources, to include rendering fishbone layouts in a snowflake layout. Each fishbone layout features a hierarchy with resource profiles and dependency relationships among the resource profiles. The resource profiles represent networked resources. Hierarchies in the snowflake layout share a common root.
