Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for rendering system components on a monitoring tool are described herein. A method includes receiving a user selection of a system from a list of monitorable systems, retrieving a plurality of components of the system selected by the user, and generating a graphical display illustrating the plurality of components in a hierarchical topology. Each component is being represented by a graphical indicator. The graphical indicator displays critical information or problem(s) related to a component that can be instantly perceived by the user. Further, the hierarchical topology illustrating a relationship (connectivity) between the components enables the user to easily track a root cause of the problem related to the component.
