Method and system for providing centralized notifications to an administrator

A computer-readable storage medium encoding computer executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, performs a method for providing information about a plurality of long-running processes, the method comprising:

• periodically receiving information about the plurality of long-running processes, wherein information about a first long-running process of the plurality of long-running processes is in a first format and wherein information about a second long-running process of the plurality of long-running processes is in a second format;
• formatting the information about the first long-running process and the information about the second long-running process into a single unified format;
• storing the formatted information from the first long-running process and the second long-running process in a storage device;
• periodically providing summary information about at least one of the plurality of long-running processes to a user interface in response to receiving a first command request from the user interface, the summary information including at least a portion of the formatted information;
• and
• in response to receiving a second command request from the user interface, providing additional information to the user interface, wherein the additional information corresponds to the at least one of the plurality of long-running processes for which the summary information was provided.

A computer system for accessing a content item, the system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory coupled to the one or more processors, the memory for storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method for providing information about one or more long-running processes, the method comprising:
• periodically receiving information about the plurality of long-running processes, wherein information about a first long-running process of the plurality of long-running processes is in a first format and wherein information about a second long-running process of the plurality of long-running processes is in a second format;
• formatting the information about the first long-running process and the information about the second long-running process into a single unified format;
• storing the formatted information from the first long-running process and the second long-running process in a storage device;
• and
• periodically providing summary information about at least one of the plurality of long-running processes to a user interface, the summary information including at least a portion of the formatted information.
