IT documentation - logical system connection.

Hello.

I`m familiar with Visio and use MediaWiki to write some details. I don`t need to evidence hardware on sites. I wonder what to use to document application? OK create in Visio export to png and add to MediaWiki, but maybe it is something better, faster? It is easier to send someone from mgmt png in mail or link to png, not Visio file (probably will not open attachment). App servers, DB servers, Users from WAN and Internet FW, LB etc. This kind of documentation/notes. Some tools that check and report to creator in time that "in this documentation there was no changes since [DATE] or i.e. 3 months". I wonder how to control change? Probably everyone of us has documentation from first run of application and then changes in hardware are made and not update on documentation. I need network information on diagram s2s name, maybe sysadmins department name or IP or in LoadBalancer info about Pool (i.e. 3 servers in pool). Normal stuff put in Visio.

Any suggestions? Or stay as it is and use Visio, upload to MediaWiki, and png as a thumbnail?
