Techniques for non-intrusive performance of diagnostic actions including actions that result in gathering of diagnostic data in response to a condition detected in a monitored system. In one embodiment, the diagnostic actions are performed asynchronously by processes or threads that are different from the failing process or thread that receives or detects the condition that triggers the diagnostic actions such that the failing process or thread can continue processing without being affected by the executions of the diagnostic actions. Multiple asynchronous processes or threads that are different from the failing process or thread may be spawned to perform multiple diagnostic actions in parallel. The asynchronous processes or threads may be monitored to ensure that they do not adversely impact the monitored system.
A method for performing a diagnostic action in a monitored system, comprising:
The method of 4 wherein at least one threshold from the one or more thresholds is related to one or more resources used by the second process or thread.
The method of 5 wherein the at least one threshold is related to an amount of time taken by the second process or thread, an amount of central processing unit (CPU) usage by the second process or thread, an amount of resources used by the second process, or a number of processes or threads executing in the monitored system.
A computer readable storage medium storing a plurality of instructions for controlling a processor to perform a diagnostic action in a monitored system, the plurality of instructions comprising:
A system for performing a diagnostic action for a monitored system, the system comprising:
