1. A method for monitoring cloud computing environments, comprising:
- receiving a request from a user to monitor at least one cloud, the request comprising access information for the at least one cloud;
accessing the at least one cloud utilizing the access information to determine information about the computing processes supported by the at least one cloud and associated with the user; and
providing a report to the user of the information about the computing processes supported by the at least one cloud.

Abstract
A monitoring system can provide monitoring services to users of cloud computing environment. The monitoring system can receive access information from users subscribing to the monitoring services. Once received, the monitoring system can access clouds utilizing the access information and monitor the computing processes instantiated in the clouds and associated with the user. The monitoring system can monitor the computing processes and collect information such as usage of cloud resources, number and type of computing processes instantiated, software programs utilized by the computing processes.
