Abstract: A monitoring tool auditing module comprises an interface, a memory, and a processor. The interface receives a plurality of monitoring audit requests, each monitoring audit request identifying one or more monitoring targets to be audited. The memory is coupled to the interface and stores the plurality of monitoring audit requests in a queue based at least in part upon the order that the monitoring audit requests are received by the interface. The processor is coupled to the memory and accesses a particular one of the plurality of monitoring audit requests stored in memory and determines a monitoring target to be audited based at least in part upon the particular monitoring audit request. The processor determines a plurality of monitoring tools that are deployed at the determined monitoring target, and determines status information for each determined monitoring tool deployed at the determined monitoring target.

Abstract: A monitoring tool deployment module comprises an interface, a memory, and a processor. The interface receives a plurality of monitoring deployment requests, each monitoring deployment request identifying one or more monitoring tools to be deployed for one or more monitoring targets. The memory is coupled to the interface and stores the plurality of monitoring deployment requests in a queue based at least in part upon the order that the monitoring deployment requests are received by the interface. The processor is coupled to the memory and accesses a particular one of the plurality of monitoring deployment requests stored in memory, and determines a monitoring tool to be used based at least in part upon the particular monitoring deployment request. The processor further determines a monitoring target based at least in part upon the received monitoring deployment request, and executes commands to initiate the deployment of the determined monitoring tool for the determined monitoring target.

Abstract: A system for managing monitoring requirements documents comprises a graphical user interface, a processor, and a memory. The graphical user interface receives inputted information identifying a monitoring target in an enterprise and monitoring requirements for the monitoring target. The processor receives the inputted information, and determines that a monitoring requirements document does not already exist for the monitoring target. The processor creates a monitoring requirements document for the monitoring target, the monitoring requirements document specifying the monitoring requirements for the monitoring target. The processor associates the monitoring requirements document with a unique monitoring identifier. The memory stores the monitoring requirements document and the unique monitoring identifier.
