A method, system and computer program product are provided for implementing client based throttled error logging in a computer system. A log governor, controlled by a client of a log manager, prevents the flooding of the logs, identifies how many repetitive logs have been suppressed, and is tailored such that log suppression requirements are enabled to be specified for each individual log. A space required for the log governor features or log governing information is allocated in the client.

An approach is described for managing error logs and corresponding error descriptors among a plurality of controller nodes of a distributed network fabric. According to such approach, an error log may include output from a runtime code trace. The runtime code trace may include storing trace statements from a currently running process in one or more of a plurality of trace buffers. The trace buffers may be memory-mapped circular buffers. Additionally, an error descriptor may be created from the error log. A globally unique identifier may be assigned to the error descriptor, and both the error descriptor and the globally unique identifier may be broadcast to each other controller node among the plurality of controller nodes.

Enhanced graphical user interface functions are provided in a graphical debugger. A user interface operatively controls a graphical user interface. A loadmap display manager coupled to the user interface implements a loadmap function. The user interface responsive to the loadmap display manager displays a program loadmap. A custom record display manager coupled to the user interface receives user inputs and implements a custom record display function. The user interface responsive to the custom record display manager displays user selected customized records.
