  • Method and apparatus for managing event logs for processes in a digital data processing system
    Publication number: 20070156786
    Abstract: Data structures which maintain event records for executing processes are maintained in a persistent form after the process which created each respective such event record data structure is terminated. The event record data structures are eventually de-allocated, preferably by an automated process which de-allocates the event record data structures after a pre-specified time period. A log formatted in human-readable form is generated, if at all, on demand of a user after completion of the process, and before de-allocation of the event record. By deferring the decision to generate a human-readable log, unnecessary event log generation and potential contention for system resources is avoided.
