There is one feature I always wished existed in engineering diagramming tools: it's the ability to hook up some logging or status report.
For instance, on each of these nodes, there could be an ID, and I would send a post request from my servers that says "node ID x is down", and the tool would just show a red dot and maybe a "take me to the logs" button, that would be huge.
Which is to say, I don't just want a diagram, cause diagrams get outdated, I want a dashboard. Dashboards get updated, cause you look at them.

Anyways, just a thought.
