Cross-network listening agent for network entity monitoring

A system comprising:

• at least one processor, at least one memory device, at least one network interface device;
• and
• a listener agent module stored on the at least one memory device and executable by the at least one processor to:
• receive, via the at least one network interface device, a metric message broadcast on a first network by a network entity;
• based at least on a metric identified within data of the metric message and listener agent configuration data including data identifying metric messages of interest, determining whether the metric message is of interest;
• and
• when the metric message is a metric message of interest, forwarding the metric message, via the at least one network interface device encoded within a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) message, to a network and system management system on a second network.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium, with instructions stored thereon that are executable by at least one processor of at least one computing device cause the at least one computing device to:

• receive, on a first network, a metric message from a network entity;
• based at least on a metric identified within data of the metric message and a configuration including data identifying metric messages of interest, determine the metric message is of interest;
• and
• when the metric message is a metric message of interest, forward the metric message to a network and system management system on a second network.
