We have several multi-tier applications that involve multiple components such as routers, firewalls, servers, databases etc.
In case such an application would fail it would be nice to have a single chain-view of all the components involved in the application.
example:
A web application running in a DMZ would involve the internet connection, firewall, front-end server, lan-switching, back-end server, database etc.
It would be great to have a graphical view of such a chain....
Get it?
