The present invention relates to a process and system for real-time monitoring of a data processing system for administration and maintenance support of the data processing system in the operating phase, which data processing system communicates in a client/server mode through interconnected networks (W), each client (WCL) comprising a browser (BRO) which supports a high-level hypertext language. Intelligent agents are installed in each server (WSE) for running, after the phrasing of client requests, a check on the status of each server, measuring and storing parameter information indicating the status and the behavior of the server at a given moment, which parameter information is automatically collected as a function of domains examined and systematically processed by the server so as to be offered in the form of presentation reports contained in dynamically evolving pages while the client's browser accesses the dynamic pages having the collected and processed information responding to a request.

[ We claim:] [1.] A process for real-time monitoring of a data processing system for administration and maintenance support of the system in an operating phase, said data processing system being arranged to communicate in a client-server mode through interconnected networks, each client including a browser which supports a high-level hypertext language, comprising the steps of:installing intelligent agents in each server for phrasing a client request via the intelligent agents in each server,running a check on the status of each server, measuring and storing parameter information indicating the status and behavior of the server at a given moment,automatically collecting the parameter information as a function of domains examined and systematically processed by the server,offering the information in the form of presentation reports contained in dynamically evolving pages, while accessing said dynamic pages having the collected and processed information responding to a request via the clients browsercarrying out systematic processing of the parameter information collected for construction of the dynamic pages by the server in successive steps, each step corresponding to the processing of said information by a particular module, including a page construction module, a semantic knowledge module, an information construction module and a generic tool module,receiving a client's request in the page construction module from the network and preparing the pages by collecting the necessary data in appropriate levels depending on the construction module's operating system, then, by presenting said data to the generic tool module for aiding in the construction, independent of the operating system,fetching low-level data in the information construction module depending on the operating system via the semantic knowledge module of the operating system, thenconstructing a high-level semantic representation of the data requested,acquiring low level data utilizing commands to the information construction module of the operating system to acquire said low-level data and communicating with the semantic knowledge module of the operating system via an application interface, andconstructing the pages in high-level hypertext language via the generic tool module for aiding in the construction of the pages in high-level hypertext language.
