ABSTRACT:
In an information network of clients (101-102) and servers (103-104), a service management system (122) of a server gathers data from the server and from the clients for managing an information service. Information management data is gathered on a client by extensions (131) to a browser (130) and is periodically reported to the service management system. Data gathered on the server includes: number of page accesses per unit of time, durations of delays between receipt of client requests for information and the server responses thereto, number of accesses to each accessed page from each referring page, number of page accesses per browser type, processor and mass-storage occupancy of the server, and configuration details of each accessing browser. Data gathered on the client includes: durations of delays between the client placing a request and a server's response to the request, the amount of time that a particular object is active at the client, abandon count and time, click-ahead count and time, and client demographics. The service management system uses the gathered data to generate reports for a manager of the information service.
