The invention is an apparatus and method for interfacing a CMIP network through a computer system to a repository. The computer system operates a log agent which translates CMIP instructions received by the computer system from the CMIP network to a set of standardized functions. The log agent is the same for all types of repositories. Each type of repository has a unique log access library. The log access library translates the standardized functions of the log agent to a form that can be interpreted by an application specific interface of the repository. Each type of repository has a unique application specific interface. Selection of a plurality of logged events can be determined by the log agent or the log access library. | |
