System and method for monitoring mobile units in a network
First Claim
1. A method of monitoring an application in a mobile device that is a component of a network, comprising the steps of:
- sending data related to execution of the application to a discriminating application programming interface (API) that is a module executable within the context of the application, and is configured to determine whether the data is of a type that is to be monitored; and
monitoring data related to execution of the application, using a monitoring API that is a module executable within the context of the application, if the discriminating API determines that the data is of the type that is to be monitored.

Abstract
A wireless networking system includes a network appliance and at least one mobile device. The mobile device comprises an application module, a discriminating application programming interface (API) that is executable within the context of the application and configured to receive data related to execution of the application and to determine whether the data is of a type that is to be monitored, and a monitoring API that is executable within the context of the application and configured to extract the data if the discriminating API determines the data is of a type that is to be monitored. The mobile device further comprises a wireless agent configured to extract and transmit the monitored data to the network appliance.

16. A wireless networking system, comprising:
-
a network appliance having an integrated wireless management system, and a processor; and
at least one mobile device, comprising;
an application module that includes means for receiving data related to execution of the application and determining whether the data is of a type that is to be monitored, and means for extracting the data if the data is of the type that is to be monitored, and means for extracting and transmitting the monitored data to the network appliance.

17. A program product for monitoring an application in a mobile device that is a component of a network, the program product comprising:
computer readable instructions stored on the mobile device and executable to;
send data related to execution of the application to a discriminating application programming interface (API) that is a module executable within the context of the application, and is configured to determine whether the data is of a type that is to be monitored; and
monitor the data, using a monitoring API that is a module executable within the context of the application, if the discriminating API determines that the data is of the type that is to be monitored. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
