Abstract
A method and apparatus for monitoring the status of a computer network by displaying polygon-shaped objects (or 'icons') to represent groups of devices connected to the network. In a preferred embodiment each device (or 'node') on the network is assigned to one of a number of groups (or 'clusters'), each cluster is represented as a polygon-shaped object on a computer system display, and the number of sides for each polygon is displayed according to the size of the group represented. The appearance of the sides of each polygon may also help indicate the size of the group. A base value may be varied to partly govern the shape and appearance of the polygon.
