Patent ID: 8719798

Claim:
A method for providing logging information associated with development of executable program code, the method comprising the acts of: inserting a plurality of logging information elements into the program code, the plurality of logging information elements having at least one logging parameter associated with the program code; defining filtering criteria corresponding to the at least one logging parameter, the filtering criteria including at least one predetermined threshold for the at least one logging parameter; filtering the program code based on the filtering criteria; providing a result of the filtering including a subset of the plurality of logging information elements corresponding to the filtering criteria and meeting or exceeding the predetermined threshold, and compiling the subset of the plurality of the logging information elements corresponding to the filtering criteria and meeting or exceeding the predetermined threshold into a formatted string; wherein the result includes information indicating at least one of a module and a source code location corresponding to where each of the subset of the plurality of logging information elements is inserted into the program code.
