Abstract
A method, system, and network for providing a method, system, and network, for network and device event monitoring and reporting. The disclosed subject matter associates with a host computer, a local network of information technology devices, a community of network users, and a global information technology community. The present disclosure initiates an inventory of a plurality of information technology devices associated with a local network of information technology devices. The method, system and apparatus determine change in the operational status of the plurality of the information technology devices associated with the local network. Then, the present disclosure monitors for changes in the operational status of the plurality of the information technology devices associated with the local network. The disclosed subject matter then presents to the host computer information relating changes in the operational status of the information technology devices associated with the local network. The present method and system associate changes to the operational status with a plurality of products from a set of product vendors, and those changes to the operational status with a plurality of advertisements presented in association with plurality of products.
