Abstract
Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for managing traces to capture data for memory regions in a memory. A trace includes a monitor parameter used by a trace procedure to monitor data in a memory device. A frequency is determined at which the trace procedure monitors the memory device. The trace procedure is invoked at the determined frequency to perform trace procedure operations comprising determining a region in the memory device according to the monitor parameter and copying data in the determined region to trace data in a data space.
Claims28
A computer program for capturing data stored in a memory device, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therein that executes to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving a setting of a trace including a monitor parameter used by a trace procedure to monitor data in the memory device;
- determining a frequency at which the trace procedure monitors the memory device;
- invoking the trace procedure at the determined frequency to perform trace procedure operations comprising:
- determining a region in the memory device according to the monitor parameter;
- and
- copying data in the determined region to trace data in a data space.
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory device in data communication with the processor;
- a computer program in the memory device executed by the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving a setting of a trace including a monitor parameter used by a trace procedure to monitor data in the memory device;
- determining a frequency at which the trace procedure monitors the memory device;
- invoking the trace procedure at the determined frequency to perform trace procedure operations comprising:
- determining a region in the memory device according to the monitor parameter;
- and
- copying data in the determined region to trace data in a data space.
