Abstract

A graphical user interface (GUI) for visualization of a logical topology of a system can include a plurality of node user interface elements to represent respective components in the system. The GUI can include a plurality of link user interface elements, each connected between an associated pair of the node user interface elements to represent a logical connection between a given component and at least one other component in the system. In response to a user input for a selected node user interface element, at least a portion of the plurality of link user interface elements can be modified to represent the logical connectivity and associated status such as from a perspective of the component represented by the selected node user interface element.
