Diagnostic system

A computer program, stored on a computer readable medium, the computer program comprising instructions for:

• executing, at a networked computer system, a client application that enables connectivity by the networked computer system to a network of other computer systems;
• executing, at the networked computer system, a performance monitoring application configured to monitor operational performance related to the connectivity enabled by the client application and to track client status information related to the monitored operational performance, the performance monitoring application being executed independently of the client application;
• and
• enabling access to the client status information when performing diagnostics on the client application or the networked computer system.
