A user specifies one or more monitoring/probing rules on a client station. These rules specify user instructions for monitoring and probing conditions, events and data on monitored sites on the Internet. The client station transfers the monitor/probing rules to the monitoring site which also processes and interprets the monitoring/probing rules. When the monitoring site processes these rules, it results in (1) an allocation of space and (2) the creation or initialization of agent programs, such that these agent programs will affect periodic monitoring of Internet sites and send data therefrom back to monitoring site. If the retrieved information at the monitoring site satisfies the user specified conditions, the monitoring site will conduct further exploration to gather more information which may help determine the causes of these conditions. The results of such a probe may be obtained from the monitoring site or the Internet, and are communicated by the monitoring site to the client station for display on a display device.

What is claimed is: 1. A non-transitory computer accessible medium including a plurality of executable instructions which, when executed on a first hardware processing arrangement, configure the first hardware processing arrangement to perform procedures comprising:transmitting, over a network, first executable instructions from the first hardware processing arrangement to a second hardware processing arrangement, and second executable instructions from the first processing arrangement to a third hardware processing arrangement; andcausing an execution of the first executable instructions by the second hardware processing arrangement and the second executable instructions by the third hardware processing arrangement, wherein the execution of (i) the first executable instructions cause the second hardware processing arrangement to perform at least one first operation which is at least one of a first monitoring operation or a first search operation on or in the second hardware processing arrangement, and (ii) the second executable instructions cause the third processing arrangement to perform at least one second operation which is at least one of a second monitoring operation or a second search operation on or in the third hardware processing arrangement,wherein the first and second executable instructions are retransmitted from the first hardware processing arrangement to the respective second and third hardware processing arrangements if the respective first and second operations terminate prior to a completion of tasks associated with the respective first and second operations.
