Abstract: A method, system and computer-readable medium for dynamically and automatically adjusting trace points in software code are presented. In one embodiment, the method includes, but is not limited to, the steps of: embedding, into a software thread, code that causes an adjustment of tracing parameters in response to a pre-defined condition; and in response to determining that the pre-defined condition has been met, adjusting the tracing parameters. The method may further include the step of adjusting a buffer size according to the adjusting of the tracing parameters. The pre-defined condition may be a jump from a first software thread to a second software thread, wherein the second software thread has a history of causing an execution warning. Alternatively, the pre-defined condition may be a particular hard or soft architected state of a processor that is currently executing software that is being traced.
