Dynamic application tracing in virtual machine environments
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving an instrumentation request comprising an identification of a probe point at which instrumentation code is to be inserted within an application;
inserting the instrumentation code at the probe point within the application while the application is being executed within a first virtual machine process; and
obtaining information indicative of an application state from an execution of the instrumentation code when the probe point is reached during application execution.

Abstract
A method for dynamic application tracing in virtual machine environments comprises receiving an instrumentation request that includes an identification of a probe point at which instrumentation code is to be inserted within an application. The method may further comprise making a determination whether the instrumentation code meets one or more acceptance criteria. If the instrumentation code is found to be acceptable, the method may further comprise inserting the instrumentation code at the probe point within the application while the application is executing within a virtual machine, and obtaining information indicative of application state from an execution of the instrumentation code when the probe point is reached during application execution.
