SpyKer: Run-Time Kernel Auto-instrumentation No kernel rebooting or instrumentation required
Java GUI on the front means you can choose your host.
The GUI front end runs on any workstation running a Java Virtual Machine.

No lengthy instrumentation or kernel rebooting is required when you use the SpyKer™ trace tool.
An ordinary kernel is auto-instrumented at run time by dynamically patching a LynxOS® or BlueCat® Linux® kernel binary with logging calls.
SpyKer can be installed and executed on a running target system with no prior preparation or configuration (except for required memory and disk space). SpyKer can even be installed and executed on production software in shipping products.
Fast, easy and non-intrusive event capture
A pull-down menu on SpyKer's front-end GUI starts the capture process. Users can:
- Remotely configure the data collection buffers on the host system (saved to disk, network drive or ring buffer)
- Define events to be traced and time-stamped
- Set up start and/or stop trigger points around specific events
A LynuxWorks embedded OS is featured in this embedded system application:

 "The mistake in the code wasn't apparent in my test scenario, but would have haunted me in a deployed system. SpyKer saw that the 5Hz thread was executing before the 100Hz thread. That alone is worth the price of the product." - Bruce Burnsed, Technical Manager, BAE SYSTEMS |
