Abstract
This paper describes a distributed application for acquiring events from different equipment in a lightweight fashion. The architecture of the application is fully distributed, and takes advantage of standard tools such as web servers and relational databases. Several prototypes of the application have been deployed in our corporate network to monitor multiple environments. This paper defines the architecture of the distributed application around four axes, ac cording to the interaction they have with the data repository and the outside world. It also defines the kind of information that is stored in the database according to three categories.
