1. A method for processing core data produced by a computer process to identify data relevant to the computer process, the method comprising:

  • identifying the core data for a computer process;

    identifying trace data comprising sequential trace entries for the computer process;

    selecting a predetermined number of most recent entries in the trace data;

    identifying any references to a memory address in each selected trace data entry;

    dereferencing each identified memory address in the core data;

    extracting the data from the dereferenced memory location in the core data;

    in response to the data from any dereferenced memory location in the core data comprising a further reference to a memory address, dereferencing the further memory address in the core data; and

    extracting the data from the dereferenced further memory location in the core data,wherein, for a given trace entry, the extraction of referenced data is limited to a predetermined depth of reference.
