System and method for determining unimportant probe locations by examination of byte code by identifying trivial methods

A method, system, and computer-usable medium for determining unimportant probe locations by examination of byte code by identifying trivial methods according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a management application identifies a first candidate location in byte code to instrument with a monitoring probe. The management application determines that the first candidate location links to a method of trivial importance and eliminates the first candidate location as a byte location to instrument. The management application identifies a second candidate location in byte code to instrument with a monitoring probe. The management application determines that the second candidate location links to a method of importance and instruments the second candidate location with the monitoring probe.
