Diagnostic data capture in a computing environment

摘要

A multithreaded computing environment for capturing diagnostic data includes initiating a trap delay component having a delay threshold in response to a monitor determining that the computing environment is in a predetermined invalid state. The multithreaded computing environment for capturing diagnostic data also includes recording, by a first thread, diagnostic data for the computing environment. The trap delay component delays the step of recording diagnostic data until the monitor determines that the predetermined invalid state has been repeated for at least one of a total count or a period corresponding to a predetermined indicator that it is a state other than a transient state of the computing environment. The transient state corresponds to a transition of the computing environment by one or more other threads from a first valid state to a second valid state.

1. A method for operating a multithreaded computing environment for capturing diagnostic data, the method comprising:
in response to a monitor determining that the computing environment is in a predetermined invalid state, initiating a trap delay component having a delay threshold; and recording, by a first thread, diagnostic data for the computing environment; wherein the trap delay component delays said recording diagnostic data until said monitor determines that said predetermined invalid state has been repeated for at least one of a total count or a period corresponding to a predetermined indicator that it is a state other than a transient state of the computing environment, the transient state corresponding to a transition of the computing environment by one or more other threads from a first valid state to a second valid state.
