Abstract: Embodiments of methods, system, and computer program products are provided that may facilitate monitoring of data processing system events. For example, data processing system event data may be collected and sent to an event handler program module. Once the event handler program module receives the data processing system event data, a remote program module, which resides in a different address space than the event handler program module, may be notified. The data processing system event data may then be sent from the event handler program module to the remote program module. Data processing system events may, therefore, be monitored from a remote location without the need to log in to the data processing system to manually extract the event data. Moreover, the data processing system event data may be sent from the event handler program module to the remote program module as events occur, thereby providing event notification in real-time.
