Abstract

A method and mechanism for utilizing a meta-language to define and analyze traces is disclosed. A set of trace format grammars can be defined for traces. Each trace format grammar is preferably compliant with guidelines for a meta-language grammar. The trace format grammars can be examined to form a suitable analyzing mechanism, such as a parser, to analyze the traces.
