Abstract

Some embodiments of the invention provide a method of performing services on a host computer on which a machine executes. The method sends, to a file inspector, a first set of data associated with an event detected on the machine that is associated with a file stored on the machine. The method receives, from the file inspector, indication that the file stores confidential information. The method sends, to a context engine executing on the host computer separately from the machine, a second set of data associated with the file, the context engine storing the second set of data for subsequent access by a service engine that executes on the host computer separately from the machine, the service engine using the second set of data to perform a service operation on data messages associated with the machine.
