As an example, each of the server devices 180-1, 180-2, ..., 180-n is provided with an agent 182 implemented by software and / or hardware to perform the above- . Specifically, the agent 182 can monitor the installed server device and collect data indicating the state of the server device. For example, the agent 182 may collect such data every predetermined period (e.g., 10 seconds). Also, the agent 182 and the monitoring server 130 can perform data communication based on UDP (User Datagram Protocol) / IP in order to minimize the communication load between them and to transmit / receive information within as short a time as possible. In particular, the agent 182 may send to the monitoring server device 130 a UDP packet containing data indicating the status of the server device that it is monitoring. Such data may indicate the IP address of the server device, the host name, the CPU usage, the memory usage, the storage disk usage, the average load, the number of connection accounts and / or the number of network connections.

In operation S615, the monitoring server device 130 waits until it receives data.

In operation S620, the monitoring server device 130 determines whether data has arrived at the port of the UDP socket or data has arrived at the port of the server socket. (I.e., when data is received from one of the server devices 180-1, 180-2, ..., 180-n) in operation S620 indicating that UDP-based data has been received, The process 600 proceeds to operation S625. Otherwise, when the client device 150 receives data, the communication process 600 proceeds to operation S635.

In operation S625, the monitoring server device 130 extracts data relating to the status of the specific server device being monitored from the received UDP packet.

In operation S630, the monitoring server device 130 stores the extracted data.

On the other hand, in operation S635, the monitoring server apparatus 130 transmits a specific web page representing the status information about the monitored server apparatuses 180-1, 180-2, ..., 180-n to the client apparatus (150). If it is determined in operation S635 that the specific web page is requested, the communication process proceeds to operation S640, otherwise, the communication process 600 proceeds to operation S650.

In operation S640, the monitoring server device 130 generates status information about the server devices 180-1, 180-2, ..., 180-n using the stored data. For example, the monitoring server device 130 may generate status information in a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format.

In operation S645, the monitoring server device 130 transmits a web page containing the generated status information to the client device 150. [
