A method and apparatus for monitoring events relating to executable program modules, for example, the usage of computer programs, and automatically recording each monitored event. The system is provided with a knowledge/data base of information relating module names and the products associated with those modules. A surveying component surveys the storage devices and records a list of modules names stored on the storage device in a system configuration log. The surveying component also, based in part upon the information in the knowledge base, records associations between each module and the product it is associated with. A monitoring component monitors events, e.g. invocations, of program modules, recording these events in a event log. Finally, a reporting component correlates these log files and produces an output report correlating the monitored events and the products stored on the storage device. |
