System and method for grouping nodes by analyzing and associating nodes of a computer system by shared characteristics

摘要

A node grouping system for grouping a plurality of nodes of a computer system, includes: a processor; a memory operatively coupled to the processor; a node aggregator component comprising instructions stored in the memory and operable to cause the system, under control of the processor, to group the plurality of nodes by: comparing first characteristics of a first node of the plurality of nodes with first grouping criteria of a first group to determine if the first characteristics satisfy the first grouping criteria; grouping the first node with the first group based on a determination that the first characteristics satisfy the first grouping criteria; and storing the grouping within the memory; and an interface component comprising instructions stored in the memory and operable to cause said system, under control of the processor, to display the grouping comprising the first node.
