Abstract
This system, as an example, addresses the method that health status could be propagated throughout an entire hierarchical system with parent and child relationships. This system, as an example, operates as the lowest layer child reports a health status change to its immediate parent. The immediate parent receives the status and updates its local health counts for its entire child domain. Then, using this health counts and child weights recalculates its own health status and reports this new status to its immediate parent. This process is repeated in every layer and at the highest layer, when the parent node receives the health status change report from its immediate child and updates the status counts for its entire child domain and using the predetermined rules and weight associated to the child and health counts recalculates the final health of the system.
