The state of an apparatus is reported to a remote computer using an embedded device in the apparatus. The embedded device detects the state, generates a message that reports the state using a self-describing computer language, and sends the message to the remote computer. The remote computer receives the message and extracts the state of the embedded device from the message.
What is claimed is: 1. A method performed by a device associated with an apparatus to report a state of the apparatus to a remote computer, the device having a local network address that is unknown to the remote computer, the method comprising: detecting the state of the apparatus, wherein detectin

The method of claim 1, wherein the state comprises both an error condition and a measurement associated with the apparatus that is not an error condition. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the storage locations comprise register locations corresponding to hardware associated with the apparatus. 12. One or more machine-readable media comprising instructions for execution by a device associated with an apparatus to report a state of the apparatus to a remote computer, the device having a local network address that is unknown to the remote computer, the instructions for causing the device to: detect the state of the apparatus, wherein detecting is performed by monitoring variables associated with the apparatus, wherein monitoring comprises (a) obtaining identifiers for variables associated with the apparatus, the identifiers corresponding to storage locations for the apparatus, and (b) reading the variables from the storage locations; generate a message that reports the state of the apparatus to the remote computer, the message comprising a HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) command, the message using eXtensible Markup Language (XML) to report the state, the message containing a code that is unique to the device or apparatus, wherein generating is performed periodically or in response to a deviation in the state, and wherein generating comprises obtaining XML tags using the identifiers and incorporating the variables into fields delimited by XML tags that correspond to the variables; and send the message comprising the HTTP command to the remote computer, the message comprising a one-way communication to the remote computer, wherein sending comprises sending the message once the message is generated or queuing the message and sending the message at a later time. 13. The one or more machine-readable media of claim 12, wherein detecting the state comprises reading the variables periodically from the storage locations. 14. The one or more machine-readable media of claim 12, further comprising instructions that cause the device to: determine the deviation in the state. 15. The one or more machine-readable media of claim 14, wherein determining comprises comparing the state to a previous state of the apparatus. 16. The one or more machine-readable media of claim 12, wherein the XML tars are part of a predefined template, the message being generated by: inserting the one or more variables into the template. 17. The one or more machine-readable media of claim 12, wherein the device is embedded in the apparatus. 18. The one or more machine-readable media of claim 12, wherein the HTTP command comprises a POST command. 19. The one or more machine-readable media of claim 12, wherein the message comprises one or more of the following: data identifying a type of the device, a common name for the device, a manufacturer of the device, a model name of the device, a model number of the device, a serial number of the device, and a universal unique identifier for the device. 20. The one or more machine-readable media of claim 12, wherein the state comprises both an error condition and a measurement associated with the apparatus that is not an error condition. 21.
