To assist in monitoring the intelligent messaging network, a system and method
for publishing logging and status information from the servers is provided. A list
of available servers accessible for monitoring by persons, devices, and applications
via a remote monitor device can be provided. The remote monitor device may forward
selected servers from the list of available servers in which they are interested.
Also, particular information about the selected servers can be requested. Access
to certain servers and information may be restricted to those with authorization.
Authorization can be verified by the use of digital certificates. The requested
information can then be gathered and provided to authorized persons or devices.
Typically, the information includes logging and status information from the servers.
The information can be provided as an XML page and viewed using, for example, a
standard web browser. Further, if the information is provided to the remote monitor
device as an XML page, a standard XML parser may be used to extract particular
information from the XML page.
