LOGGING AND ANALYZING CONTEXT ATTRIBUTES

A facility for logging context attributes is described. For each of a set of selected context attributes, the facility determines a target frequency with which values of the selected context attribute are to be logged. For each of the set of selected context attributes, the facility obtains values of the selected context attribute at a frequency approximating the target frequency determined for the selected context attribute. Then, for each obtained context attribute value, the facility writes the obtained value to a storage device in a manner that identifies its context attribute.
