Abstract
The invention provides a computer monitoring system for performing monitoring to improve a use efficiency of a monitor-subject computer and also for detecting illegal mail transmission/reception, illegal browsing, etc., which cannot be detected by a prior art, thus promoting proper use of the computers in the network. In this computer monitoring system, a monitor-subject PC2 records a log of a use state of application software products, which log is acquired from the monitor-subject PC2 by a monitor PC1, which in turn calculates a using time and a use rate of each of the application software products except an idle state time and also a time and a use rate of the idle state, thus outputting and displaying the use rate.
Claims16
A computer monitoring system comprising a monitor computer for monitoring a computer and a plurality of monitor-subject computers to be monitored by said monitor computer, wherein:
- each one of said plurality of monitor-subject computers records logs of a use state of application software products, receives a log acquiring instruction from the monitor computer, reads out the recorded logs when said each one of the plurality of monitor-subject computers detects the log acquiring instruction, outputs and transmits them collectively to the monitor computer, and deletes the recorded logs from said each one of the plurality of monitor-subject computers;
- and
- said monitor computer outputs the log acquiring instruction to a specific monitor-subject computer when a log acquiring directive is input from a user of the monitor computer or automatically at a constant time, acquires said logs from said specific monitor-subject computer to which the log acquiring instruction is output in response to the log acquiring instruction, displays on a log displaying screen a log contents including input characters at said specific monitor-subject computer, further, when a directive for calculation and displaying of a use efficiency is input, calculates a using time which is a subtraction of idle state time that is a time period from a time point when a certain time has passed from an action of the application software products up to a next action, from a time when the application software products are activated up to the completion of the application software products, calculates the using time for each application software product, calculates a total idle state time in all the application software products, calculates a use rate for each of said application software products which is a rate of the using time of each application software product in total using time and the total idle state time of all application software products, a use rate of said idle state which is a rate of the total idle state time in total using time and the total idle state time of all application software products, and displays the use efficiency including the using time and the use rate for each of the application software products, and the total idle state time and the rate of the idle state.
A computer monitoring system comprising a monitor computer for monitoring a computer and a plurality of monitor-subject computers to be monitored by said monitor computer, wherein:
- each one of said plurality of monitor-subject computers records logs of a use state of application software, receives a log acquiring instruction from the monitor computer, reads out the recorded logs when said each one of the plurality of monitor-subject computer detects the log acquiring instruction, outputs and transmits them collectively to the monitor computer, and deletes the recorded logs from said each one of the plurality of monitor-subject computer;
- and
- said monitor computer outputs the log acquiring instruction to a specific monitor-subject computer when a log acquiring directive is input from a user of the monitor computer or automatically at a constant time, acquires said logs from said specific monitor-subject computer to which the log acquiring instruction is output in response to the log acquiring instruction, displays on a log displaying screen a log contents including input characters at the specific monitor-subject computer, further, by a displaying instruction for displaying a list of a working rate, calculates a using time which is a subtraction of idle state time that is a time period from a time point when a certain time has passed from an action of the application software up to a next action, from a time when that the application software product is activated up to the completion of the application software, sums the using time for each one of said plurality of monitor-subject computers, sums idle state time in all monitor-subject computers, calculates the working rate based on a ratio between the summed idle state time and the summed using time for each monitor-subject computer, and displays a list of the names of said plurality of monitor-subject computers in an order of said working rate.
