SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING NETWORK APPLIANCES USING WELL-FORMATTED DATA FILES

摘要

The present invention provides a system and method for monitoring network appliances using well-formatted data files. A system for monitoring a network appliance by recording operational data in well-formatted data files includes a data management module and a data presentation module. The data management module is configured to determine selected operational data associated with the network appliance and to record the selected operational data in well-formatted data files. The selected operational data are a subset of data regarding transaction performed by the network appliance. The data management module is also configured to record the selected operational data with minimum processing. The data presentation module is configured to present statistical data. The statistical data is determined from the selected operational data in the well- formatted data files. The data presentation module is also configured to provided the statistical data in real-time.
