User Interaction Analysis of Tracer Data for Configuring an Application Tracer

摘要

A tracing system may be updated to include, exclude, or modify tracing configurations for functions based on how a user consumes tracing results. The user's interactions with graphical representations, inspections of data, and other interactions may indicate which functions may be interesting and which functions may not be. The user's interactions may be classified by use, such as during debugging, performance testing, and ongoing monitoring, and multiple user's interactions with the same function, library, module, source code file, or other groups of functions may be combined to predict a user's interest in a function.

主权项

1. A method performed by at least one computer processor, said method comprising:
receiving a set of user interactions, said set of user interactions being gathered during a user session with a visualization, said visualization representing tracer data gathered by tracing an application with a tracer, said application comprising a plurality of functions; analyzing said set of user interactions to identify a first function as a low interest function; and causing said tracer to trace said first function at a reduced tracing level.
