Spence Harbar mentioned this topic on his blog briefly but I didn’t fully understand what he was talking about.  I thought it was simply an add-in to Visio 2010 for SharePoint-specific shapes to incorporate into my next SharePoint network topology Visio.  I could always use more cute and helpful shapes in my Shapes menu.   I was wrong.

This add-in enables SharePoint administrators to create and publish dynamically refreshing Visio Services diagrams to monitor the performance of their infrastructure.

Use this add-in to simplify the maintenance and troubleshooting of your Microsoft SharePoint farm infrastructure.  This add-in delivers a near real-time, online view of the status of your SharePoint farm, its servers, and their services using Microsoft Visio 2010 and Visio Services in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010.

Click here to download the add-in and the corresponding timer job that updates the content.

This is a value-add for us SharePoint administrators to offer both our business leaders and our IT bosses.
