Abstract
A system and method for monitoring and managing a computing service are disclosed. In one embodiment, an agent is installed at each of a plurality of clients. These agents periodically test performance of services of one or more application servers over a network. The agents then transmit the results of the tests to a management server. The management server also receives information regarding actual services delivered to users from the one or more application servers. Customers may then access the management server to obtain system information.
