Abstract
Some embodiments provide a network service monitor that operates on a number of different mobile devices to track and monitor network services that an application is using. The network service monitor of some embodiments includes a monitored connection object to capture data relating to the network service from a network connection each time the application uses the network connection to access the network service. The network service monitor then sends captured data to a performance monitoring server in order to present, based on the captured data and other captured data from other mobile devices, at least one performance report relating to the performance of the network service as used by the same application across a number of mobile devices. In some embodiments, the network connection is a socket connection.
