1. A method for automated monitoring of a system, comprising:
- checking the status of multiple system components, using a data processing system;
displaying a visual indicator of a component failure;
determining whether the failure was scheduled or not; and
responsive to determining that the failure was not scheduled,displaying contact information for at least one person responsible for responding to the failure;
sending basic information corresponding to the component failure to a wireless device, the wireless device not a part of the data processing system used for checking the status of the multiple system components; and
recording detailed information corresponding to the component failure in an incident log,wherein the basic information corresponding to the component failure includes contact information for a person responsible for responding to the failure and information identifying the failed component; and
responsive to determining that the failure was scheduled,the information corresponding to the component failure is not sent to the wireless device.

6. A data processing system having at least a processor and accessible memory, comprising:
-
means for checking the status of multiple system components; means for displaying a visual indicator of a component failure; means for determining whether the failure was scheduled or not; means for displaying contact information for at least one person responsible for responding to the failure; means for sending, responsive to determining that the failure was not scheduled, basic information corresponding to the component failure to a wireless device, the wireless device not a part of the data processing system used for checking the status of the multiple system components; and means for recording detailed information corresponding to the component failure in an incident log, wherein the basic information corresponding to the component failure includes contact information for a person responsible for responding to the failure and information identifying the failed component, and wherein in response to determining that the failure was scheduled, the means for sending does not send the information corresponding to the component failure to the wireless device. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
