Abstract

In one or more embodiments, one or more systems, processes, and/or methods may utilize a trace unit that stores trace data via a trace buffer in a memory medium and may utilize a network interface that provides the trace data from the trace buffer to a network. In one example, the network interface may provide the trace data from the trace buffer to the network in response to a trigger. In one instance, the trigger may include a modification of a pointer to an address of the trace buffer. In another instance, the trigger may include an expiration of a timer. In another example, the trace unit may filter the trace data. In one or more embodiments, storing the traced data and providing the trace data to the network may be performed without involving a main processor of an information handling system that includes the trace unit.
