CONTROLLING REPORTING BY AN INSTRUMENT ENCAPSULATION MODULE ENCAPSULATING AN APPLICATION PROGRAM ON A USER TERMINAL
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- performing operations as follows on a processor of an application analysis computer;
receiving metrics reported by user terminals via a data network, the metrics indicating a measured operation of an application program processed by the user terminals;
determining when a collection of the metrics received from across the user terminals satisfies a rule for modifying metric reporting; and
communicating a metric reporting modification command to the user terminals, based on the collection of the metrics received from across the user terminals satisfying the rule for modifying metric reporting, to control future metrics reported by the user terminals for the measured operation of the application program.

Abstract
A method includes performing operations as follows on a processor that include receiving metrics reported by user terminals via a data network. The metrics indicating a measured operation of an application program processed by the user terminals. The operations further include determining when a collection of the metrics received from across the user terminals satisfies a rule for modifying metric reporting, and communicating a metric reporting modification command to the user terminals, based on the collection of the metrics received from across the user terminals satisfying the rule for modifying metric reporting, to control future metrics reported by the user terminals for the measured operation of the application program. Related computer program products and systems are disclosed.

9. A computer program product, comprising:
-
a tangible computer readable storage medium comprising computer readable program code embodied in the medium that when executed by a processor of a user terminal causes the processor to perform operations comprising; modifying a condition defined by a metric reporting rule based on a metric reporting modification command received from an application analysis computer via a data network; measuring operation of an application program that is encapsulated by the computer readable program code and processed by the processor; determining when the measured operation satisfies the condition of the metric reporting rule; and communicating a metric, which indicates an operation of the application program processed by the processor, via the data network to the application analysis computer when the measured operation satisfies the condition of the metric reporting rule. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
