1. A computer-based method comprising:
- upon an event, compiling a diagnostic information about the state of server software into a data stream wherein a timer is used to inhibit the collection of multiple diagnostic images within a certain time period; and
losslessly compressing the data stream, wherein the losslessly compressed data stream is such that when it is transmitted to a remote computer, the losslessly compressed data stream can be completely reconstructed.

Abstract
Diagnostic information can be stored and then collected into a large diagnostic image file upon an event, such as a prefailure condition. The diagnostic image can be compressed for emailing to a second site to allow the determination of problems with server software at the server software site.

11. A computer-readable medium adapted to interact functionally with a computer, the computer readable medium including code comprising:
-
code to, upon an event, compile diagnostic information about the state of server software into a data stream wherein a timer is used to inhibit the collection of multiple diagnostic images within a certain time period; and code to losslessly compress the data stream, wherein the losslessly compressed data stream is such that when it is transmitted to a remote computer, the losslessly compressed data stream can be completely reconstructed. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
