Systems and methods which provide translation and/or transformation of
messaging data, such as that collected by a distributed management
method, for collection, consolidation, processing, and/or analysis are
shown. Preferred embodiments of the present invention provide data
translation schema to manipulate raw data stored in a first database or
databases, such as a staging database, to store useful information in
appropriate locations of a second database or databases, such as a data
warehouse. Preferably, for each data source monitored in a messaging
environment, collected raw messaging data is parsed into appropriate
positions of a staging database. Thereafter, data transforms of the
present invention preferably manipulate and/or process data of the
staging database and provide useful information for storage in a data
warehouse.
