Remote information logging and selective reflections of loggable information
First Claim
1. A method of logging information, the method comprising:
- receiving a notice of locally-originated loggable information;
determining whether said information satisfies a first criterion; and
notifying, if said first criterion is satisfied, a remote logger service of said information.

Abstract
Methods (as well as apparatus and software that implement the methods) of remote information logging and selective reflections of loggable information are disclosed. One such method comprises: receiving a notice of locally-originated loggable information; determining whether said information satisfies a first criterion; and notifying, if said first criterion is satisfied, a remote logger service of said information. Another such method comprises: receiving multiple instances of remotely-originated loggable information; and making entries in a local log for said multiple instances of remotely-originated loggable information. And yet another such method comprises: providing access to a local log of remotely-originated information; determining whether information corresponding to an entry in said local log satisfies a first criterion; and notifying, if said first criterion is satisfied, a remote service of said information.

receiving a notice of locally-originated loggable information;
determining whether said information satisfies a logging criterion;
making an entry, where said logging criterion is satisfied, in a local log for the information corresponding to said notice;
determining whether said information satisfies a reflection criterion different than said first criterion; and

18. A method of logging information, the method comprising:
-
receiving multiple instances of remotely-originated loggable information; and
wherein at least two of said instances of remotely-originated loggable information originate from sources having clocks that are out of sync such that an overall order of occurrence among all of said instances of loggable information is obscured;
approximating an order of occurrence among all of said instances of loggable information by time-stamping each receipt of said remotely-originated loggable information with a corresponding receipt time according to a clock local to the point of receipt;
making entries in a local log by arranging said entries in order of the respective time stamps.

providing access to a local log of remotely-originated information;
determining whether information corresponding to an entry in said local log satisfies a first criterion; and
notifying, if said first criterion is satisfied, a remote service of said information. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 30, 31, 32)

23. A method of logging information, the method comprising:
-
providing access to a local log of remotely-originated information, each instance of said remotely-originated information having been logged locally before being sent to the point of receipt;
determining whether information corresponding to an entry in said local log satisfies a first criterion; and
notifying, if said first criterion is satisfied, a remote service of said information, wherein said remote service is at least one of a support provider or a maintenance provider;
wherein said remote service is of such remoteness as to include the Internet as part of a communication path thereto.
