ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for monitoring service life parameters of a computer system 10 includes a processor 72 connected to sensors 78, 80, 82, 84, a control memory 74 having an operating program stored therein and a data memory 76 having a finite write life. The sensors 78, 80, 82, 84 sense operating parameters of the computer system 10 and generate sensor signals to which the processor 72 responds by generating a data signal. The data memory 76 responds to the data signal by storing information related to the predetermined operating parameter as a data log. The processor 72 generates the data signal in a manner that maximizes the write life of the data memory 76.
