In order to support complex, rapidly changing, high-volume websites many components contribute to keeping the content current. Monitoring the workflow through all these components is a challenging task. This paper describes a system in which objects created by the various heterogeneous, distributed components can be distributed to any application choosing to present monitoring information. Creation, distribution, and presentation of the objects are all independent, leading to highly responsive and flexible monitoring of the complex system.
