Method and apparatus for monitoring electronic apparatus activity

Abstract: A system activity monitor for monitoring the performance of an electronic apparatus, e.g., a computer. The system activity monitor includes a plurality of data acquisition modules that are connected to the monitored system as desired. The actual connection is made via a customizing board that provides the necessary flexibility so that the system activity monitor can be connected at any desired location of the monitored computer system. An event board of the system activity monitor detects the occurrence of predetermined events. An event occurs when a predetermined sequence of signals occurs within the monitored system; the sequence is determined by the user. When an event is detected an accumulator board of the system activity monitor accumulates performance data of the monitored system.
