NETWORK CONFIGURATION AND OPERATION VISUALIZING APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a network visualizing apparatus which enables a user to grasp a configuration and an operation of a network in an overview manner.SOLUTION: The visualizing apparatus is configured to monitor a network of which the logical configuration can be changed by software interpreting a network control command, and comprises: a display device 98; a first drawing processing section for drawing a first image 92 representing a cooperation between services provided on the network on the display device 98; and a second drawing section for drawing how a node and a switch are connected on the network to implement the cooperation between the services as a second image 98 on the display device. The first and second drawing sections update drawing of the execution monitor screen 92 of the service cooperation and the network configuration monitor screen 98 synchronously with each other. A log 94 of an interpretation result of a description about the cooperation between the services and a log 96 of a network situation may also be synchronously displayed.
