ABSTRACT:
A flexible, extensible, uniform, and efficient framework for retrieving and analyzing data from a number of different data sources is disclosed. Instructions for retrieving and analyzing data are provided in a configuration file that is defined in a common format irrespective of the different data sources. The configuration file is submitted to a dispatcher, which uses the information therein to dispatch a number of data source collectors. Each such data source collector is unique to a corresponding data source and is able to formulate an efficient method for retrieving the necessary data from its corresponding data source. An analyzer then analyzes the retrieved data according to the instructions in the configuration file.
