Abstract
Aspects of the invention include receiving an error code describing a computer hardware or firmware error. A list of data items to be collected to assist in correcting the error is received. The contents of the list are selected based at least in part on the error code and are in priority order. The data items in the list are collected and a buffer to store the collected data items is selected. At least a subset of the collected data items to be written is transmitted to the buffer. All of the collected data items are transmitted to the buffer when the buffer is large enough to hold all of the data items in the list. A subset of the collected data items are transmitted to the buffer in priority order when the buffer is not large enough to hold all of the data in the list.
