Claim:
1. A computer system for providing a dynamic boundary based approach for monitoring and metering, the computer system comprising: one or more computer microprocessors, one or more computer readable storage media, and program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more microprocessors, the program instructions comprising: program instructions, stored on the one or more computer readable storage media executed by at least one of the one or more microprocessors, to provision at least one agent to one or more network accessible resources, wherein the at least one agent is configured to allow for monitoring and metering, and wherein the at least one agent is optimized to manage the plurality of individual dynamic boundaries; program instructions, stored on the one or more computer readable storage media executed by at least one of the one or more microprocessors, to provision at least one entity to the one or more network accessible resources, wherein the at least one entity is configured to monitor the one or more network accessible resources for inactive users, and wherein the at least one entity is further configured to trigger archival of information for an inactive user captured by the at least one agent; program instructions, stored on the one or more computer readable storage media executed by at least one of the one or more microprocessors, to provide at least one dynamic boundary for monitoring and metering, wherein the at least one dynamic boundary follows a top-down approach, and wherein the at least one dynamic boundary comprises a plurality of individual dynamic boundaries, and wherein: program instructions, stored on the one or more computer readable storage media executed by at least one of the one or more microprocessors, to receive information captured by the at least one agent provisioned to the one or more network accessible resources based on the dynamic boundary for monitoring and metering; and program instructions, stored on the one or more computer readable storage media executed by at least one of the one or more microprocessors, to cause the information to be available for use.
