Abstract: A system and method for monitoring the performance of one or more computers on a network. The system and method utilize the standard output of preexisting performance monitoring utilities and filters this output to transform the data into a standardized format which may consist of key-value pairs. The reformatted data is provided to one or more clients for analysis. Separate threads are used to independently redirect the output of individual utilities to a superserver via associated sockets. The superserver uses a filter associated with a particular utility to reformat the data received from a socket corresponding to that utility. The system and method may be used to monitor varying numbers of computers and each computer may have varying numbers of preexisting utilities executed thereon.
