Cooperative Client And Server Logging

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• communicating, by a client device, with a server device;
• receiving a request at the client device from the server device to initiate logging, the request indicating detection of a connection related state in association with the communicating;
• processing the request at the client device to initiate the logging;
• and
• sending an acknowledgement to the server device, the acknowledgement acknowledging receipt of the request and that the logging is initiated.

A computing device comprising:

• a communications connection that is internal to the computing device and over which at least two devices are configured to communicate, one device to another, through the computing device;
• and
• one or more modules implemented at least partially in hardware of the computing device, the one or more modules configured to perform operations comprising:
• receiving a request from one of the at least two devices that is connected internally to initiate logging, the request indicating detection of a connection related state in association with communication between the one of the at least two devices and another of the at least two devices that is connected internally;
• processing the request at the computing device to initiate the logging for the other of the at least two devices;
• and
• sending an acknowledgement to the one of the at least two devices, the acknowledgement acknowledging receipt of the request and that the logging is initiated.
