Abstract
A network usage management system comprises at least one collector adapted to collect network usage data associated with a data source using a network, the at least one collector adapted to generate log data associated with the at least one collector. The network usage management system also comprises at least one log collector adapted to retrieve the log data from the at least one collector.
