DETERMINING USAGE OF COMPUTING DEVICES THAT STORE STATE INFORMATION ON HOST COMPUTER SYSTEMS

摘要

A state storage application can be configured to retrieve, from a computing device coupled to a host computing system, state information for the computing device, with the state information reflecting a current or past state of the computing device. The state storage application can be further configured to store the retrieved state information in a storage medium. A monitoring application can be configured to access the stored state information, and send at least a portion of the accessed state information to one or more servers.
