1. A monitoring system for monitoring the performance of a software system in use, the software system comprising at least two subsystems having interfaces for sending and/or receiving messages, each subsystem having at least one associated interface description, the monitoring system comprising:

  • i) at least one message detector for detecting messages output by a subsystem interface;

    ii) an interface description store for storing one or more interface descriptions; and

    iii) a message data decoder for decoding data from a detected message;

    the monitoring system being adapted to;

    iv) detect a message output by a subsystem interface; and

    v) decode data from the detected message by reference to a stored interface description for the subsystem interface.
