Library system health is monitored and displayed based on the location of
equipment within the library relative to track layout. Robotic devices
travel on rails within the data storage library accessing data storage
devices such as cartridges, cassettes, media packages, media access
equipment, identification devices, access ports and the like. The rails
are divided into a plurality of rail segments. A database holds
information about each rail segment. The database is updated based on use
of each rail segment by the robotic devices. Data is generated and
displayed to describe the use of each rail segment.
