Abstract
Techniques for coordinating the monitoring of output devices are provided. The output devices may be in an enterprise or corporate network. In one technique, for each of multiple mediation services executing on multiple computing devices, a list of multiple output devices is received over a computer network from each mediation service. A first list from a first mediation service identifies a particular output device. A second list from a second mediation service that is different than the first mediation service also identifies the particular output device. Based on the list from each mediation service, a mapping that maps each output device to a list of mediation services is generated. The mapping pertaining to the particular output device is transmitted over the computer network to the first and second mediation services.
