Abstract:
1. A log collecting apparatus, comprising: a response data forwarding unit configured to respond to a trace log request by forwarding response data set with unsent trace logs to a request source; an error log ratio determining unit configured to determine whether a ratio of error logs versus unsent trace logs is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value when unsent trace logs that duplicate error logs exist with respect to the trace log request; a differential trace log creator configured to create differential trace logs, wherein the duplicate error logs have been deleted from the unsent trace logs, when the error log ratio determining unit determines that the error log ratio is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold value; and a response data configuration unit configured to set response data with the differential trace logs created by the differential trace log creator, and to set the response data with the unsent trace logs when the error log ratio determining unit determines that the error log ratio is not equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold value.
