摘要

A method and apparatus intuitively to administer all components (104) of a networked computer system by use of real dimensional views of any component (104) or any set of components, including components related to a specific business interest, and with customizable and fully extensible functionality, across heterogeneous platforms and applications. Navigation and configuration tools (101) are provided, with an intelligent cursor, to travel to and address any component (104) thereof, or subset of components, with status and abnormalities identified, monitored and controlled, and by hierarchical filtration, and aggregation correlation with asynchronous notification.
