Abstract
A log manager for tracing a user or process in a data processing system is provided. A user inputs various criteria in the log manager, indicating exactly what is to be traced. A tracer key is created based on this information. The tracer key is then transmitted to the appropriate applications in the system, which then gather the relevant information. The applications then forward this information to a log receiver. The receiver stores the information. The log receiver can then produce a trace report for the user at any time the user wishes.
