Universal data monitoring method

The present invention provides a universal data monitoring method. According to the method, exterior data receiving, decoding, storing and displaying are achieved by using a four-layer structure of a universal processing system; firstly, a configuration file in the XML format is generated with respect to a specific data system, then an object is created and an object attribute is set through each layer of the universal processing system according to content of the configuration file; and receiving, decoding, storage, and displaying of the data are achieved through the object of each layer. According to the present invention, the configuration file in the XML format is used to describe a monitoring task of the data in a specific environment, and the object of each layer can be correctly created and the object attribute is set according to the content of the configuration file, wherein the object corresponds to an XML tag, and the object attribute corresponds to the attribute of the XML tag, so the configuration file of this format easily achieves the object. When a displaying task changes, the configuration file is only needed to modify, instead of coding again, which easily achieves extending, and has a widely applicability.
