Abstract

A computer processor device provides a dependency tree representing (i) relationships among all the infrastructure elements in a computer system that are related to delivery of a service by a computer system, and (ii) how the infrastructure elements interact with each other in a delivery of said service, wherein a state of an infrastructure element is impacted only by states among its immediately dependent infrastructure elements of the dependency tree. The computer processor device determines the state of the service by checking current states of infrastructure elements in the dependency tree that immediately depend from the service.
