First Claim
Patent Images
1. A host computing system comprising:
- one or more processing devices; and
a storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processing devices, cause the one or more processing devices to implement the following;
a state storage application configured to;
retrieve, from a computing device coupled to the host computing system, state information for the computing device, the state information reflecting a current or past state of the computing device; and
store the retrieved state information in the storage medium; and
a monitoring application configured to;
access the stored state information;
send at least a portion of the accessed state information to one or more servers.

Abstract
A state storage application can be configured to retrieve, from a computing device coupled to a host computing system, state information for the computing device, with the state information reflecting a current or past state of the computing device. The state storage application can be further configured to store the retrieved state information in a storage medium. A monitoring application can be configured to access the stored state information, and send at least a portion of the accessed state information to one or more servers.
