First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for monitoring for a plurality of processes that communicate over a network, with a central monitoring unit, comprising:
- providing a process with at least one agent;
receiving, by the agent, signals from the process, analyzing the received signals; and
sending a message to the monitoring unit if a predeterminable communication condition is fulfilled, wherein the message is designed such that the monitoring unit can automatically detect whether the process has been aborted.

Abstract
The invention concerns a method, a device and a system for monitoring for a plurality of processes via a central monitoring unit. The processes respectively comprise an agent that is assigned to receive signals from the process, to analyze these signals and—in the event that a predeterminable communication condition is fulfilled—to send a message to the monitoring unit. The message is thereby designed such that the monitoring unit can automatically detect whether the process to be supervised is still running, has been successfully terminated, or has been aborted.

10. A device for monitoring for a plurality of processes that communicate over a network, comprising:
-
a central monitoring unit;
a process; and
an agent that is associated with the process, the agent comprising;
a reception module that receives signals from the process;
an analysis module that analyzes the received signals; and
a communication module that sends a message to the monitoring unit if a predeterminable communication condition is fulfilled, the message being designed such that the monitoring unit can automatically detect whether the process has been aborted. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
