Abstract
The subject application is directed to a system and method for document processing device operation monitoring. Operational data is first communicated between document processing devices on one of a plurality of networks, each network having an assigned audit server from among a plurality of audit servers. Operational data is received into each audit server from each document processing device in its associated network. The audit servers output operational data from each document processing device in a thin client language via attachment to an e-mail. A data server receives the e-mail from each audit server and parses the operational data from each received e-mail. The parsed data is then stored in a database associated with the data server. The data server then generates a device report in accordance with a query to the database.
