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.

• 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
