  • Computer monitoring and reporting infrastructure
    Patent number: 8493210
    Abstract: A computer health monitoring server may distribute several alerts to client devices within a network. The client devices may filter the alerts to identify alerts that apply to the client device, based on the hardware and software configuration of the device. The alerts may monitor various items and collect data defined in the alerts. A local user interface may display the alerts and any results from the alerts, and the results may be transmitted to the server. Some users having network privileges may be able to view local alerts as well as alerts from other devices in the network. Other users may be only able to view a subset of alerts. The alerts may be defined with repair processes so that a user may launch a repair activity or, in some cases, the repairs may be performed automatically as defined in the alerts.
