Abstract: Disclosed herein is a data visualization methodology to assist network administrators and service engineers for complex computing systems in diagnosing and addressing faults, errors and other conditions within the computing system, and related computerized processes and network architectures and systems supporting the methodology. The methodology produces a visual representation of the relative severity and similarity of a various fault conditions occurring within a plurality of devices within the complex computing system. The visual representation visually depicts the various computing devices and/or resources within a three-dimensional grid located according to a first axis representing the severity of fault conditions being experienced by the devices/resources and second and third axes representing the similarity/disparity of the types of fault conditions being experienced by the devices/resources.
