System for securely monitoring and extracting data through a private network

Systems and methods are described for secure data extraction through a private network. A data extraction application may operate behind a firewall on a client system. Application state information may be automatically gathered and sent by the data extraction application upon the data extraction application being awakened at a predetermined time. A remote system outside of a firewall may determine commands to return to the data extraction application that include one or more query parameters, and then send the commands to the data extraction application. The remote system may then obtain, from the client system behind the firewall or from a data store outside of the firewall, results of the data extraction application executing a query with the provided query parameters injected therein, where the query was executed by the data extraction application with respect to one or more files located behind the firewall.
