Claim:
A method for monitoring a web analytics program comprising: receiving server data from a plurality of servers within an entity, wherein server data includes server-specific metrics relating to free disk space and table size of each of the plurality of servers; summarizing, using a web analytics program, at least a portion of the received server data, wherein summarizing the at least a portion of the received server data includes creating one or more periodic reports; communicating with the web analytics program to set-up a separate monitoring program to monitor a status of the server-specific metrics relating to free disk space and table size for each of the plurality of servers; allowing the separate monitoring program to monitor the status of the server-specific metrics relating to free disk space and table size for each of the plurality of servers; receiving server-specific metric values for each of the plurality of servers from the separate monitoring program; identifying one or more critical events identified from the server-specific metric values received from the monitoring program, wherein the one or more critical events identify a problem or cautionary issue with a table size of one or more of the plurality of servers or a drop in free disk space that reaches a cautionary level for one or more of the plurality of servers; presenting a first status indicator signifying a healthy status of one or more of the plurality of servers on an acceptable server- specific metric value received for the one or more of the plurality of servers presenting a second status indicator, the second status indicator indicating the identified one or more critical events where that precautionary action may be necessary; wherein the second status indicator is a cautionary status indicator signifying that precautionary action may be necessary to prevent a critical event; wherein the critical event comprises an inability of the web analytics program to retrieve at least a portion of the server data in order to summarize the data in the one or more periodic reports within a predetermined time period; and adjusting, automatically, one or more parameters to remedy one or more of the identified one or more critical events.
