Abstract

A system for identifying and managing incidents of organization actions performed with applications includes a processor and communications interface. The communications interface receives communication messages between an application and a server. The processor receives at least one policy for an organization action performed with the application. The processor processes the communication messages between the application and the server to determine the organization action. The processor determines at least one metric related to the organization action based on the communications messages. The processor then determines whether the metric complies with the policy.

Claims

1. A method for identifying and managing incidents of organization actions performed with applications, the method comprising:

receiving at least one policy for an organization action performed with an application;

processing communication messages between the application and a server to determine the organization action;

determining at least one metric related to the organization action based on the communication messages; and

determining whether the at least one metric does not comply with the at least one policy.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising performing a task based on the determination whether the at least one metric does not comply with the at least one policy.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein the task comprises setting a warning indicator for the organization action.

4. The method of claim 2 wherein the task comprises generating a log of the determination whether the least one metric does not comply with the at least one policy.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the at least one policy indicates an expected performance of the organization action with the application and the server.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the at least one policy indicates security privileges.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein the at least one metric comprises an execution time for the organization action.

8. The method of claim 1 further comprising generating a report for display to an administrator based on the determination whether the at least one metric does not comply with the at least one policy.

9. A system for managing incidents of organization actions performed with applications, the system comprising:

a communications interface configured to receive communication messages between an application and a server; and

a processor configured to receive at least one policy for an organization action performed with the application, process the communication messages between the application and the server to determine the organization action, determine at least one metric related to the organization action based on the communication messages, and determine whether the at least one metric does not comply with the at least one policy.

10. The system of claim 9 wherein the processor is further configured to determine a task to perform based on the determination whether the at least one metric does not comply with the at least one policy.

11. The system of claim 10 wherein the task comprises setting a warning indicator for the organization action.

12. The system of claim 10 wherein the task comprises generating a log of the determination whether the at least one metric does not comply with the at least one policy.

13. The system of claim 9 wherein the at least one policy indicates an expected performance of the organization action with the application and the server.

14. The system of claim 9 wherein the at least one policy indicates security privileges.

15. The system of claim 9 wherein the at least one metric comprises an execution time for the organization action.

16. The system of claim 9 wherein the processor is further configured to generate a report for display to an administrator based on the determination whether the at least one metric does not comply with the at least one policy.

17. A software product for managing incidents of organization actions performed with applications, the software product comprising:

software operational when executed by a processor to direct the processor to receive at least one policy for an organization action performed with an application, process communication messages between the application and a server to determine the organization action, determine at least one metric related to the organization action based on the communication messages, and determine whether the at least one metric does not comply with the at least one policy; and

a software storage medium operational to store the software.

18. The software product of claim 17 wherein the software is operational when executed by the processor to direct the processor to determine a task to perform based on the determination whether the at least one metric does not comply with the at least one policy.

19. The software product of claim 18 wherein the task comprises setting a warning indicator for the organization action.

20. The software product of claim 18 wherein the task comprises generating a log of the determination whether the at least one metric does not comply with the at least one policy.

21. The software product of claim 17 wherein the at least one policy controls performance of the organization action with the application and the server.

22. The software product of claim 17 wherein the at least one policy controls security privileges.

23. The software product of claim 17 wherein the at least one metric comprises an execution time for the organization action.

24. The software product of claim 17 wherein the software is operational when executed by the processor to direct the processor to generate a report for display to an administrator abased on the determination whether the at least one metric does not comply with the at lest on policy.
