Good day, the task is the following.
It is necessary to visually display the relationship between microservices (servers) based on data from the database.
That is, the parent-child relationship, something like this:

At the same time, all this should be dynamic, that is, based on data from the database.
Some servers depend on others, others work independently, some can be turned on / off, some are a cluster to increase capacity and work with one highly loaded program (that is, 3 servers for one microservice, for example).

The DevExpress toolkit is available.
I recently started learning wpf so I have no idea how to achieve the goal. Any ideas?
Sorry for such an abstract question.

Relationships between microservices are a graph.
Accordingly, you need some library for graph visualization.
Look at this one, for example: https://github.com/panthernet/GraphX

If you used normal cluster software like Istio, kiali would be perfect for you https://kiali.io/docs/features/topology/
And look in the direction of graphs. Graphviz Example viz-js.com

Pixie ( https://pixielabs.ai/ ) gives such a graph, plus loading. NewRelic makes it possible to install it and see the result in a couple of minutes.
