ABSTRACT:
A method for polling a plurality heterogeneous computer systems remote from a host is provided. The method has the host containing first and second memory locations. In the first location the current day's collected information is stored. In a second location historical data compiled over a predetermined period of time is stored. The system has the host initially polling all of the plurality of heterogeneous computer systems concurrently to determine if they are active. If it is determined that a particular computer system is active, the system then runs through a series of commands to obtain desired information from the plurality of hosts. The host obtains the particular operating system and the particular version of each operating system that is running on each one of the plurality of heterogeneous computers. Once this information is obtained the host then can run certain specific commands for each particular operating system revision to ascertain additional information. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the host can then ascertain if the plurality of heterogeneous computers are running desired test applications.
