Abstract
Techniques for reporting events that occur on a plurality of Web Services (WS)-enabled devices are provided. A service agent executes on a node that is separate from the plurality of WS-enabled devices. The service agent receives an event notification message from a particular device of the plurality of WS-enabled devices. The event notification message indicates an event that occurred on the particular device. In response to receiving the event notification message, the service agent examines a mapping table that maps event types to one or more devices that are to be notified when the corresponding event occurs. The service agent then sends a message about the event to each of the one or more devices.
