Abstract
Methods for monitoring a plurality of electronic circuit cards of an electronic system are provided. An embodiment of the method includes collecting a plurality of messages at one of the plurality of electronic circuit cards. The plurality of messages includes a message from one or more of the plurality of electronic circuit cards. Transmitting the plurality of messages from the one of the plurality of electronic circuit cards to a monitor located externally to the electronic system is also included in the method. The method further includes selectively filtering the plurality of messages at the monitor, whereby producing a plurality of filtered messages.
