Patent ID: 8291266

Claim:
A method for providing server fault notifications comprising receiving a selection of a light-emitting diode (LED)-based directed servicing mechanism; receiving a network fault status request input; receiving a selection of a diagnostic service notification filter parameter, the diagnostic service notification filter parameter selected from at least one of: a hardware component-based diagnostic service notification filter parameter, a server node-based diagnostic service notification filter parameter, a server application-based diagnostic service notification filter parameter, and a server type-based diagnostic service notification filter parameter; and illuminating one or more LEDs associated with one or more system components having one or more faults according to the selection of the LED-based directed servicing mechanism and network fault data, wherein the illuminating one or more LEDs associated with one or more system components having one or more faults according to the selection of the LED-based directed servicing mechanism and network fault data further comprises: illuminating one or more LEDs in a sequence corresponding to a path associated with locating the one or more components having one or more faults; displaying one or more diagnostic service notifications for one or more faults of the degraded server node.
