ABSTRACT:
A performance and measurement system for a computing system is presented. Performance data produced by the computing system is collected and reduced before being logged. Once the data is logged, the data may be transported to a workstation and accessed by a user.
In the preferred embodiment, the collected and reduced data is logged into three files. The first file is a global data file into which is logged information about the computing system as a whole. The second file is a process data file into which is logged information about selected processes. The third file is a workload data file into which is logged information about classes of processes.
Information about processes are logged into the process data file when a process does something "interesting" during a specified interval. For example, a process may be considered to have done something interesting when the process is started, is terminated or uses a predetermined amount of a computing system resource during the specified interval.
