Abstract:
A method and system for tracking an IT infrastructure is provided. The method includes modeling an IT infrastructure as a collection of hardware components, software components, and networking components. An observer agent is deployed on each of the components. The observer agent performs a measurement process with respect to each of the components and a mapping process is performed with respect to the measurement process. An aggregation module is deployed and an aggregation process is performed with respect to results of the mapping process. In response, a two dimensional moving graph indicating results of the aggregation process is generated and displayed.
