Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for implementing a system for monitoring data for detection of events and tracking data associated with detected events are disclosed. A system for monitoring data for detection of events may include a data modification module and an event monitoring module. In one embodiment, the data modification module is adapted for obtaining data including one or more values and flagging at least a portion of the data to identify one or more attributes that together define an event. The event monitoring module is coupled to the data modification module and adapted for monitoring at least a portion of the flagged data produced by the data modification module for detection of one or more events. The system may further include a notification module adapted for sending a notification of a detected event in accordance with a set of notification preferences. Moreover, a collaboration module may be adapted for providing a graphical user interface including data associated with one or more detected events. A security module may be adapted for determining whether to provide access to a system resource identified in an access request. For example, the system resource may be data used for configuration of the event monitoring module or data output by the event monitoring module. As another example, the system resource may be at least a portion of the data associated with one or more of the detected events (e.g., data accessible via the collaboration module).
