Abstract
Method and system for collecting and filtering messages received at an event source platform and delivering the filtered messages to a collection host platform. According to one embodiment, the system uses a mobile agent object to filter messages received at an event source platform. The mobile agent object determines a filtered set of messages that match predetermined parameters and then delivers the filtered messages to a collection host platform for storage or redirection.

18. A method for collecting message objects from multiple event source platforms, the method comprising:
-
filtering message objects resident within a first event source platform with a first mobile agent object to determine a first filtered set of message objects;
sending the first set of filtered message objects to a database in a collection host platform;
filtering message objects resident within a second event source platform with a second mobile agent object to determine a second filtered set of message objects; and
sending the second set of filtered message objects to the database in a collection host platform. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
