Abstract
A method utilizes a virtual flight recorder to harvest a subset of events being collected by an active system tracing facility during operation of a computer system. The virtual flight recorder is “virtual” from the sense that it is not specifically instrumented into a component with which the virtual flight recorder is associated, which eliminates the burden on developers to specifically instrument components of interest, and minimizes the impact on system performance as a result of performance metric collection.
