Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a client-side configurable graphical control element framework are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system may include a client device that may execute a user interface and a data services component in communication with the client device and a data source. The user interface may retrieve a graphical control element configuration file and may transmit a request for data, including a metric identifier, to the data services component. The data services component may retrieve a data services configuration file for the metric identifier, and may request data from the data source based on the data services configuration file. The data services component receives data from the data source and formats the data according to the data services configuration file. The user interface may receive the formatted data and represent the data as a graphical control element according to the graphical control element configuration file.

Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling message flow throughout a distributed architecture are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for controlling message flow throughout a distributed architecture may include (1) receiving, at a controller executed by a computer processor, a request comprising an identification of a desired server in a network of a plurality of servers and a desired action for the desired server to take; (2) the controller establishing a connection with a message listener associated with the desired server; (3) the controller communicating the message to the message listener; (4) the message listener executing the desired action; and (5) the message listener communicating a status of the desired server to the controller.
