1. A method for monitoring the health of a client node in a computer network by a health service agent located on the client node, the method comprising the steps of:
- issuing a request to a server for a client type-specific task list to be incorporated into the client node;
incorporating the client type-specific task list into the health service agent, the client type-specific task list supplementing a shell version of the health service agent;
executing the client type-specific task list on the client node to render one or more health attribute values for the client node; and
storing the health attribute values in an event log.

Abstract
A method and system for monitoring the health of a networked client computer node include health service agent software that scans the client computer node upon which the agent is installed. The health service agent software transmits data to a health service data manager identifying the type of client node upon which the agent is installed to permit retrieval by the manager of a health service task list specifying rules and executables applied by the health service agent to an associated client node.

11. A system for monitoring the health of a client node in a computer network, the system comprising:
-
a health service database server located remotely from the client node, the health service database server comprising a task list table includes a set of client-type specific task lists; and a health service agent located on the client node, the health service agent comprising computer executable instructions facilitating performing the steps of; issuing a request to the health service database server for a client type-specific task list to be incorporated into the client node, incorporating the client type-specific task list received by the client node into the health service agent, the client type-specific task list supplementing a shell version of the health service agent, executing the client type-specific task list on the client node to render one or more health attribute values for the client node, and storing the health attribute values in an event log. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
