1. An apparatus (70) for monitoring and logging data related to operating parameters of a computer system (10) comprising:

  • a control memory means (74) in which a software program is stored;

    a processing means (72) connected to the control memory means (74) and operating under control of said software program;

    at least one sensor means (78, 80, 82,

         84) connected to said processing means (72) for generating a sensor signal representing a predetermined operating parameter of a computer system (10); and

    a data memory means (76) connected to said processing means (72) and having a finite write life, said data memory means being responsive to a data signal for storing information related to the predetermined operating parameter as a data log whereby said processing means is responsive to said sensor signal for generating said data signal in a manner that maximizes the write life of said data memory means.
