Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- determining whether an exception has previously been logged based on an exception identifier, a source identifier, and a probe identifier, wherein the probe identifier identifies a location within executable instructions of a source that is identified by the source identifier, wherein the exception identified by the exception identifier occurred at the location, and wherein the probe identifier is identical for each time that the exception identified by the exception identifier occurs at the location and wherein the source identifier is different for each invocation of the source; and
when the exception has not previously been logged, creating a new log entry and storing the exception identifier, the source identifier, and the probe identifier in the new log entry.

Abstract
A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that in an embodiment determine whether to log an exception based on whether the exception has already occurred. In an embodiment, exceptions that repeatedly occur at the same source and location within the source are logged on the first occurrence, and not logged thereafter. In this way, data can be saved about the exception, yet system resources are not consumed by repeated logging.
