Abstract

A user display window for visually indicating a monitored connection state of a managed object in a computing system includes a display pane for displaying visual representations of views, systems, or objects of the computing system, wherein the managed object is represented with a first icon and the connection state is represented with an outline around the first icon. A user can visually see the connection state of any managed object within the computing system by viewing the display plane and seeing the outline around the first icon. A method for visually indicating a monitored connection state of a managed object in a computing system includes representing the managed object with a first icon; representing the connection state with a first representation; and superimposing the first icon on the first representation. An apparatus for visually indicating a monitored connection state of a managed object in a computing system includes a first represent module, a second represent module, and a superimposing module. The first represent module represents the managed object with a first icon. The second represent module represents the connection state with a first representation. The superimposing module superimposes the first icon on the first representation.
