Abstract
A system and method for providing non-invasive monitoring capability for systems and applications not designed for integrated monitoring. According to an exemplary embodiment, a Watcher application is tasked with accessing data relating to the system or application, analyzing the data to determine the existence of a monitoring event, and notifying a monitoring system of said monitoring event. In exemplary embodiments, a Watcher 110 monitors data in an application or system database, monitors an execution environment of the application or system, or accesses the system or application directly via an application programming interface.
