Abstract
A method is provided for securely enabling dynamic instrumentation. The method includes categorizing probes, upon creation, into one or more classes, providing lists of permissions for activating the probes and associating users with the permissions for activating the probes, such that certain users have permissions for activating certain probes. Users are associated with permissions by mapping classes of probes to permissions and mapping users to permissions, mapping classes of users to probes, or mapping users to at least one of classes of probes and classes of capabilities.
