摘要 |
A method of monitoring a device among distinct devices communicatively coupled to a network is described. The method includes accessing the device using a first communication protocol, receiving information from the accessed device, parsing the received information to extract parameter values representing an operational status of the device, storing a data string associated with each of the extracted parameter values. The operational status information corresponding to the extracted parameter values is retrieved from a database. The monitored device is accessed using a second communication protocol if the first communication protocol is not configured to retrieve information requested from the accessed device.
