The present invention relates to a monitoring status display device, a monitoring status display method, and a monitoring status display program.
A system operation management needs to not only constantly monitor resources and the operating statuses of services, which are monitoring subjects, but also, in case of problems, promptly identify the problems and restore the system. The following Non-Patent Literature 1 discloses an integrated management tool for consolidating an entire system by collecting pieces of monitoring information from the monitoring subjects into a single integrated console. Non-Patent Literature 2 described below discloses a system operation monitoring tool that presents a list of monitored items defined based on SLA (Service Level Agreement).

The integrated management tool described in Non-Patent Literature 1 displays a group of monitoring subjects in the form of a tree structure. The system operation monitoring tool described in Non-Patent Literature 2 displays a table showing, for example, the monitored items, the times/dates of monitoring, and the presence/absence of problems.
Therefore, the more the monitoring subjects, the larger the tree and the table. This causes an administrator to repeatedly scroll or change the screen until the administrator can identify a monitoring subject having a problem. It requires a long time to identify a problem. The administrator might miss the problems while repeating such operation.
