Real-time activity monitoring and reporting

Abstract

In order to track activities in a computerized system with client-server or other communications, a system configuration is needed which monitors, logs and reports traffic. This is somewhat akin to but not entirely similar a firewall. Thus, the invention contemplates a real-time, platform-independent, rule-based activity monitor for detecting a particular activity of interest as it occurs and for reporting such activity and the user substantially as fast.

1 . A system for real-time activity monitoring and responsive actions, comprising:
 a host having an application;   a client in communication link with and interacting with the applications; and   a monitor having traffic, rules and actions engines.
