Abstract
According to one aspect, a system for locating application-specific data that includes a server, a broker, and an agent. An operator may define a command using the server, and this command may be sent to the broker. The broker may then send the command to the agent operating on an end-point system. The agent may then conduct an application-specific data search on the end-point system in respect of the user command. Search results may then be sent to the broker. The broker may then sent the search results to the server.
