Claim 17:
18. The medium of claim 17 wherein determining the different sampling rates comprises:
sorting the traces according to trace type to obtain one or more groups of traces, each group of traces having a different associated trace type;
receiving a sampling level via a graphical user interface;
determining a trace-type sampling parameter and a duration-sampling parameter based on the user-selected sampling level; and
for each group of traces,
determining a frequency of occurrence of a trace type associated with the group of traces,
constructing a histogram of the durations, each bin of the histogram corresponding to a time interval and containing traces with durations in the time interval,
determining a frequency of occurrence of traces in each bin of the histogram, and
determining a hybrid sampling rate for each bin of the histogram based on the frequency of occurrence of traces in each bin, the frequency of occurrence of the trace type, the trace-type sampling parameter, and the duration-sampling parameter.
