Hi everyone,
I have been using Node Relationships module (and cck/views etc) to build a type of Configuration Management Database (CMDB for those ITIL types out there). By describinga different node type for each Configuration Type, and then building rlationships, it's coming together rather nicely. It's primarily used to keep track of my relationships between Hosting Company > Hosting Accounts, DNS Servers, Domains, renewal dates etc.

Within Node Relationship module is a REALLY cool Entity Relationship Diagram - that is generated to show the relationship between Node Types.
What I would Love to see is the same diagram, but generated based on a specific Node, and showing the relationships back to other specific nodes (rather than at the generic Node Type level).

Does anyone know of such a module to create such diagrams - or could point me in the best direction?

Regards
Swagman

At your service.

The module it pretty basic, and it only works with node-reference and node-referrer fields at the moment. Noderelationship fields are something that I'm thinking of including, but I want to see what directions the Awesome Relationships module is heading in before I commit to getting every backreferencing module working. See
http://drupal.org/node/948946 for example.

Any input is very welcome - bug tracking, idea discussion, patches, etc.

I'm interested in hearing about the current status of your CMDB work. I've been doing similar work on a CMDB for the last number of years and am looking to do the next version of my CMDB using Drupal.
