A method is disclosed to monitor the status of devices disposed in a computing system. The method provides a computing device comprising a plurality of devices, and a system monitoring algorithm comprising a monitoring interval and a device status for each of (N) devices disposed in the computing device, where those (N) devices comprise a portion or all of the plurality of devices. The method sets for each value of (i), the (i)th monitoring interval and the (i)th device status, where the (i)th device status is selected from the group comprising active and inactive; where (i) is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to (N). As long as the (i)th device status is set to active, the method monitors the status of the (i)th device at the expiration of each (i)th monitoring interval. On the other hand, as long as the (i)th device status is set to inactive, the method does not monitoring the status of the (i)th device at the expiration of each (i)th monitoring interval.
