Zusammenfassung:Methods, systems, and products for determining performance of a software entity running on a data processing system. The method comprises allowing extended execution of the software entity without monitoring code. The method also comprises intermittently sampling behavior data for the software entity. Intermittently sampling behavior data may be carried out by injecting monitoring code into the software entity to instrument the software entity, collecting behavior data by utilizing the monitoring code, and removing the monitoring code. The method also comprises repeatedly performing iterations of the allowing and sampling steps until collected behavior data is sufficient for diagnosing performance of the software entity. The method may further comprise analyzing the collected behavior data to diagnose performance of the software entity.
