Claim 14:
15. A system for more effectively recording information in system logs, the system comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory device operably coupled to the at least one processor and storing instructions for execution on the at least one processor, the instructions causing the at least one processor to:
detect a plurality of errors over a specified period of time;
store information associated with the plurality of errors in a memory buffer;
preprocess the information in the memory buffer to condense the information and remove duplication, wherein removing duplication comprises representing multiple instances of a specific type of error with a single instance, and providing a count indicating how many instances of the specific type of error the single instance represents; and
determine whether the multiple instances of the specific type of error span multiple log files and, if so, providing the single instance in its entirety and the count in each of the multiple log files.
