Method and system for providing information from third party applications to devices

Abstract

A method and system of making information from an application accessible to an electronic device, comprising: checking, via a log monitor, a third party log file for a new log entry; sending any new log entries in the third party log file to a rules engine, the rules engine comprising at least one rule; determining if any of the new log entries violate any rules in the rules engine; making accessible any new log entries that violate any rules to the electronic device; creating an alert based on the new log entry that violates at least one rule; and notifying users of the alert using alert criteria to determine who should receive the alerts and when, wherein different users receive different alerts based on the alert criteria.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of making information from at least one application accessible to at least one electronic device, the method comprising:
 checking, via at least one log monitor, at least one third party log file for at least one new log entry;   sending any new log entries in the at least one third party log file to at least one rules engine, the at least one rules engine comprising at least one rule;   determining if any of the new log entries violate any rules in the at least one rules engine;   making accessible any new log entries that violate any rules to the at least one electronic device;   creating at least one alert based on at least one new log entry that violates at least one rule; and   notifying users of the at least one alert using alert criteria to determine who should receive the alerts and when, wherein different users receive different alerts based on the alert criteria.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the alert criteria comprise: at least one pre-defined individual 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the alert criteria comprise: at least one pre-defined group of individuals 
     
     
         4 . A system of making information from at least one application accessible to at least one electronic device, the system comprising:
 at least one processor configured for:   checking, via at least one log monitor, at least one third party log file for at least one new log entry;   sending any new log entries in the at least one third party log file to at least one rules engine, the at least one rules engine comprising at least one rule;   determining if any of the new log entries violate any rules in the at least one rules engine;   making accessible any new log entries that violate any rules to the at least one electronic device;   creating at least one alert based on at least one new log entry that violates at least one rule; and   notifying users of the at least one alert using alert criteria to determine who should receive the alerts and when, wherein different users receive different alerts based on the alert criteria.   
     
     
         5 . The system of claim  9 , wherein the alert criteria comprise: at least one pre-defined individual. 
     
     
         6 . The system of claim  9 , wherein the alert criteria comprise: at least one pre-defined group of individuals.
