Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method for controlling the saving of data within a computer system including a client computer, a server, a data storage medium which are connected via a communication network, and a computing arrangement of at least one of the client computer and the server, the computing arrangement having a machine data source and a dynamic data storage allocation module, the method, comprising: (a) the dynamic data storage allocation module accessing data samples from the machine data source, and calculating for each accessed data sample a respective percentage of a predetermined danger value; (b) the dynamic data storage allocation module determining an interestingness value for each of the accessed data samples based on each sample's calculated percentage of said predetermined danger value; (c) the dynamic data storage allocation module determining whether the interestingness value for each of the accessed data samples exceeds an interestingness threshold; (d) in response to the determining by the dynamic data storage allocation module, the computing arrangement storing at least one of the accessed data samples in the data storage medium, wherein the at least one of the accessed data samples having interestingness values exceed the interestingness threshold; and then (e) the dynamic data storage allocation module modifying said interestingness threshold based on the interestingness values of the stored at least one of the accessed data samples to control storing of subsequently accessed data samples from the machine data source.
