1. A method for monitoring systems of a vehicle, comprising:

  • receiving data by a vehicle data recorder onboard the vehicle from a plurality of sensors associated with the systems of the vehicle;

    determining, by a processor, relevant information from the received data that is used by each of a plurality of wireless networked computers onboard the vehicle based on at least a function performed by each wireless networked computer with respect to an associated one of a multiplicity of components of the systems of the vehicle;

    formulating, by the processor, using a configuration table, a particular different customized information message for each of the plurality of wireless networked computers, wherein the configuration table comprises;

    an identification of a particular wireless networked computer for each of the plurality of wireless networked computers;

    relevant information used by the particular wireless networked computer associated with the identification for each particular wireless networked computer;

    a condition or criteria associated with the use of the relevant information or operation of the particular wireless networked computer associated with the identification for each particular wireless networked computer; and

    a specification for formatting and transmitting the particular different customized information message associated with the identification for each particular wireless networked computer; and
