Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a method and system for lazily logging events of a software program at various points during the software program's execution. During operation, responsive to receiving one or more events to be logged from a software component during a bootstrap sequence of a virtual machine that the software component executes on, the system queues the one or more events in a particular storage location using a bootstrap logger. Then, subsequent to the completion of the bootstrap sequence, the system activates the subsequent logger, wherein the activation of the subsequent logger is dependent on the completion of the bootstrap sequence. The system then flushes events queued in the particular storage location to the subsequent logger, thereby enabling the subsequent logger to log each of the queued events to a subsequent storage location. Next, the system replaces the bootstrap logger with the subsequent logger.
