Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 10:
11. A coordinator system, comprising:
one or more processors; and
a non-transitory computer-readable medium coupled to the one or more processors, and having instructions stored thereon, which in response to execution by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform or control performance of operations for dynamic tracing of runtime data in a distributed system, wherein the operations include:
associate a trace profile to at least one node of a plurality of nodes in the distributed system, wherein each of the nodes includes a local worker agent, and wherein an administrator agent coordinates trace profiles for the plurality of nodes;
detect, by the local worker agent of the at least one node, an error that pertains to runtime data monitored by the local worker agent;
in response to the detected error, update, by the local worker agent of the at least one node, the trace profile;
send, by the local worker agent of the at least one node, the updated trace profile to the administrator agent; and
after receiving the updated trace profile at the administrator agent, apply, by the administrator agent, the updated trace profile to at least some of the plurality of nodes so as to increase or decrease trace output data for traces that are performed by the at least some of the nodes.
