Abstract: A monitoring information reporting system for a client computer, the system provides monitoring information to a server computer which receives monitoring information for analysis. The system provides a framework for a client computer to identify to a server computer the monitoring information it can provide. The server computer then determines, based on the notification, whether monitoring information is to be provided, and if so, the specific monitoring information that will be provided. When monitoring information is to be provided, the server computer sends a response to the client computer with a command to control the client computer to collect monitoring information, which is then provided to the server computer. In this way, the server computer can control the amount and nature of monitoring information collected and transferred.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically managed data retention are described. The system comprises a tiered framework having a plurality of namespaces. The namespaces are configured by a user to have selected data retention attributes. Data including a manifest may be received by the system, processed, and directed to a namespace based upon the manifest. Data storage partitions may be created automatically in association with a namespace, and the data partitions may be assigned partition attributes. Data in a storage partition may be migrated automatically to another namespace based on the partition attributes. Code necessary for creating storage partitions and migrating data is generated by the data management system.
