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.
