System and method for customizing the storage and management of device data in a networked environment
DCFirst Claim
1. In a system including monitoring devices generating monitoring device data, an archive server processing the archival of monitoring device data and a client computer, a method of selectively archiving monitoring device data based on an archival profile, the method comprising:
- obtaining incoming monitoring device data, wherein the incoming monitoring device data is characterized by one or more archival attributes;
obtaining an archival profile for selectively archiving the incoming monitoring device data;
determining whether the archival profile is associated with one or more archival attributes of the incoming monitoring device data;
if the archival profile is associated with one or more archival attributes;
processing the incoming monitoring device data having one or more archival attributes that match the archived profile into a compressed format; and
selectively storing the incoming monitoring device data in the compressed format on a storage medium;
wherein the archival attribute from which the archival profile selectively stores incoming monitoring device data is one selected from the group of file type, monitoring device identifier, and monitoring device type that collected the incoming monitoring device data.

Abstract
A system and method for customizing the storage of data according to data attributes are provided. A user is provided with a graphical user interface for generating data archive profiles. The data archive profiles can include information regarding the attributes of the device data, specifications regarding the storage of the data, specifications regarding the retrieval of the archived data, and management of the archived data during storage. The execution of the data archive profiles facilitates the individual processing of specific data types or individual pieces of identifiable data.
