1. A method for providing information about a monitored system, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a processor, a request for information about the monitored system from a wireless device, wherein device information associated with the wireless device is embedded in the request and wherein the device information comprises an available bandwidth associated with the wireless device;
retrieving the information about the monitored system, a portion of the information comprising non-textual content;
determining, by the processor, that the request for the information originated with the wireless device;
formatting, by the processor, a response including the information about the monitored system for the wireless device based on the available bandwidth associated with the wireless device determined from the device information, wherein formatting the response comprises removing the non-textual content from the information to avoid using additional bandwidth beyond the available bandwidth associated with the wireless device; and
sending the response formatted for the wireless device to the wireless device.

18. A method for delivering information about a monitored computer system, the method comprising:
-
receiving, at a processor, information about the monitored computer system, a portion of the information comprising non-textual content; receiving, at the processor, a request for the information about the monitored computer system from a remote wireless device, wherein device information associated with the remote wireless device is embedded in the request and wherein the device information comprises an available bandwidth associated with the remote wireless device, composing, by the processor, a message for delivery to the remote wireless device based on the available bandwidth associated with the remote wireless device determined from the device information, the message comprising a link to detailed information about the monitored computer system, wherein composing the message comprises removing the non-textual content from the information to avoid using additional bandwidth beyond the available bandwidth associated with the remote wireless device; and forwarding the message for delivery to the remote wireless device. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
