ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for automatically storing indications regarding conditions prevailing in a computer running a user application (1) that employs a library (2). This method involves providing an interface component (3) interposed between the user application and library. The interface component (3) is arranged to receive messages from the user application (1) destined for the library (2), pass on these messages to the library (2), and monitor and store indications regarding conditions prevailing in the computer at the time the messages are received or passed. Provision is made for dynamically changing the indications to be monitored.
