Abstract
A technique for improving system administration involves implementing system administration agent programs on a plurality of devices in an administered network. A deployment agent deploys the system administration agent program or a portion thereof to suitable devices when they are detected. System monitoring agents monitor the administered network to generate data. A reporting engine sends agent reports including the generated data to a system administration server. The system administration server facilitates administration of the administered network in real time.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- instructing a first device on a network to deploy at least a portion of a system administration agent program to suitable devices on the network;
- receiving agent reports from reporting agents associated with the system administration agent program;
- identifying events from the agent reports;
- generating issue reports for a subset of the events;
- updating a system administration datastore in real-time based on the issue reports, wherein the updating results in real-time updates;
- sending a notification of an update for a subset of the real-time updates to a user, wherein one or more parameters of the notification of the update for the subset of the real-time updates are set by the user;
- and
- performing one or more actions on one or more of the devices on the network, wherein if the user is not on the network, the one or more actions are automatically performed by the system administration agent program based on the one or more parameters of the notification of the update for the subset of the real-time updates set by the user.

A system comprising:
- a memory storing a program communicating with one or more processors that execute the program to perform:
- instructing a first device on a network to deploy at least a portion of a system administration agent program to suitable devices on the network;
- receiving agent reports from reporting agents associated with the system administration agent program;
- identifying events from the agent reports;
- generating issue reports for a subset of the events;
- updating a system administration datastore in real-time based on the issue reports, wherein the updating results in real-time updates;
- sending a notification of an update for a subset of the real-time updates to a user, wherein one or more parameters of the notification of the update for the subset of the real-time updates are set by the user;
- and
- performing one or more actions on one or more of the devices on the network, wherein if the user is not on the network, the one or more actions are automatically performed by the system administration agent program based on the one or more parameters of the notification of the update for the subset of the real-time updates set by the user.
