ABSTRACT:
Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for varying access parameters for processes to access memory addresses in response to detecting a condition related to a pattern of processes access to memory addresses. A monitored condition is detected during application execution. An instrumentation program is invoked to monitor processes accessing data at addresses in a memory device in response to detecting the monitored condition. Information is logged on processes and the addresses they access in the memory device in response to invoking the instrumentation program. The logged information on the processes and the addresses they access is forwarded to an application analysis system in response to detecting a monitored condition during application execution.
