The present invention relates to managing data generated by software transactions, such as event tracing software. In one embodiment, data generated by event tracing software is monitored. The throughput of the data generated may then be modulated based on various criteria, such as a target data rate. The throughput target may be specified on a per-system basis or individual basis. Based on the throughput, the level of detail recorded is modulated. Individual processes may determine a limit or quota depending on their contribution to the throughput. In one embodiment, the method calls for a trace are modified with different property specifications to meet a desired throughput of event tracing data. |
