ABSTRACT:
A method and mechanism for diagnosis of computer applications using traces is disclosed. Trace messages can be materialized using a markup language syntax. Hyperlinks can be placed in the trace messages to facilitate navigation between sets of related traces. Specific traces or portions of traces can be emphasized.
