Abstract
An apparatus for providing telemetry information of monitored equipment is disclosed. The apparatus may store a first set of application mappings and a second set of application mappings. The first set of application mappings may be established when equipment to be monitored is connected to the disclosed apparatus. When connected, the processor of the disclosed apparatus may instantiate a monitoring application, which may request a communication port number for communicating telemetry information received from the equipment to be monitored. The application mappings may store an association of the instantiated application and its corresponding communication port number. The apparatus may also establish a common communication interface for communicating with the various monitoring applications based on the stored application mappings. Thus, a client device need only communicate with the common communication interface instead of each of the monitoring applications separately.
