System and method for interfacing with a system monitor
First Claim
1. A method for interfacing to a system monitor, comprising:
- prior to executing a computer application within a computing device;
maintaining a source file corresponding to a computer application to be monitored that is stored at a first location, the source file containing source code that includes one or more notification messages embedded within the source code;
extracting each of the one or more notification messages from the source file, to store each of the one or more notification messages in a scan file, and to delete any duplicate notification messages detected in the scan;
accepting a user modifiable severity level and a user modifiable second location into a table, wherein the modifiable second location specifies a path to a second location where the one or more notification messages is stored;
accessing data in the table and provide an indicator of severity based upon the modifiable severity level upon discovering the one or more notification messages at the second location, wherein the user modifiable severity level is modifiable prior to execution of the computer application; and
converting the data in the table to the format acceptable to the system monitor module.

Abstract
An interface is provided between a running computer application and a system monitor. The system monitor handles notification messages generated by the computer application. The interface includes an import module to scan a source file, extract notification messages from the source file and store the notification messages in a scan file. The interface includes a manager module to display each notification message in the scan file in a table in a graphical user interface to allow modifications to the data in the table. The data is exported to an export stage. The export module performs any translation required to create a file of the notification messages in a format that is acceptable to the system monitor.

10. A system for interfacing to a system monitor, comprising:
-
a computer system maintaining a source file corresponding to a computer application to be monitored that is stored at a first location, the source file containing source code that includes one or more notification messages embedded within the source code, wherein the computer system includes at least a computing device, a display device and a storage device; an import module configured to extract each of the one or more notification messages from the source file, to store each of the one or more notification messages in a scan file, and to delete any duplicate notification messages detected in the scan file prior to execution of a computer application within the computing device; a manager module configured to accept a user modifiable severity level and a user modifiable second location into a table, wherein the modifiable second location specifies a path to a second location where the one or more notification messages is stored by the computer system on the storage device prior to execution of the computer application within the computing device; a system monitor module configured to access data in the table and provide an indicator of severity based upon the modifiable severity level upon discovering the one or more notification messages at the second location, wherein the user modifiable severity level is modifiable prior to execution of the computer application within the computing device; and an export module configured to convert the data in the table to the format acceptable to the system monitor module. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
