Abstract

Disclosed herein are systems and method for collecting an optimal set of log files for generating error reports. In one aspect, a method may comprise detecting an error in a software component and retrieving a function call trace associated with the software component. The method may comprise comparing the retrieved function call trace with a plurality of known call traces, wherein each respective known call trace of the plurality of known call traces is associated with a respective set of log files to be collected for error analysis. The method may comprise identifying, based on the comparison, a known call trace for which a similarity value with the retrieved function call trace is greater than a threshold similarity value. The method may comprise collecting a set of log files for the error based on an associated set of log files for the known call trace and generating an error report.
