Abstract: A system and method for providing non-invasive monitoring capability for systems and applications not designed for integrated monitoring. According to an exemplary embodiment, a Watcher application is tasked with accessing data relating to the system or application, analyzing the data to determine the existence of a monitoring event, and notifying a monitoring system of said monitoring event. In exemplary embodiments, a Watcher 110 monitors data in an application or system database, monitors an execution environment of the application or system, or accesses the system or application directly via an application programming interface.

Abstract: A system and method of guaranteeing the delivery of SNMP traps in a computer network. In an exemplary embodiment, the method receives SNMP Traps at a trap concentrator, which bundles the traps using a guaranteed delivery data transmission protocol. The trap concentrator further transmits the bundled traps across a network to a trap echoer, which unbundles the traps and transmits their data content to a trap processor. In exemplary embodiments, the trap concentrator recognizes if attempted trap transmission to the trap echoer fails, and if so, stores the bundled traps in a cache until they can be retransmitted in their original sequence.
