Abstract

Abstract A manager for innately monitoring a computer system. All address and data signals transferred over the system bus and certain ones of the address signals are then selected as related to operating conditions of the computer system. A data filter selects data signals which correspond to the selected address signals and the selected address and data signals related to operating conditions of the computer system are then stored, either in a register filed if the selected address and data signals are dynamic information requiring frequent status updates or in a first-in, first-out memory, if the selected address and data signals are less dynamic information.
