Abstract

A snapshot handler is registered with an event monitoring subsystem of a process virtual machine, the registering specifying a trigger event of the snapshot handler, wherein the trigger event comprises execution of a specified portion of an application executing in the process virtual machine, the trigger event specified externally from a source code of the application. Responsive to the event monitoring subsystem detecting an occurrence of the trigger event, the snapshot handler is executed, storing data of an execution state of the process virtual machine at a time of occurrence of the trigger event.
