  • Logging of exception data
    Patent number: 7360114
    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.
