According to a sample embodiment, a method is provided for capturing context information about an event. A data collector is created comprising instructions to collect specific context data in response to specific conditions in a call stack, and the data collector is registered with a first failure data capture application. In a sample embodiment the first failure data capture application receives a registration for a context data collector. Then, in response to being called, the first failure data capture application looks for at least one of a class and a method defined in the context data collection registration that matches conditions of the call stack. In response to said call stack conditions being met, the first failure data capture application calls the data collector to collect context data from the call stack, receives context data from the context data collector; and presents the context data.
