During operation, the system periodically measures values for a set of performance parameters associated with the computer system while the computer system continues operating. The system then records the values on a data storage device, wherein the recording process keeps track of temporal relationships between events in different performance parameters. The system subsequently allows the recorded values for the set of performance parameters to be analyzed. | |
