Aspects relate to monitoring timing margin of logic paths and its degradation through an integrated circuit. In one example an apparatus includes an integrated circuit having a logic path formed in the integrated circuit and a monitor circuit formed in the integrated circuit. The monitor circuit is configured to monitor a condition of the logic path and to generate a diagnostic code sequence to indicate the condition of the logic path over time. A monitor controller is configured to receive diagnostic codes of the diagnostic code sequence, to store the diagnostic codes in a log with a corresponding time stamp and to determine a condition of the integrated circuit based on the diagnostic code sequence.
