The present invention relates it directed to configurable collection of
computer related metric data. A computer system generates computer
related metric data related to an application. The application accesses a
manifest that indicates a portion of the generated computer related
metric data (e.g., a subset) is to be packaged for delivery. The
application sends schema-based package start data to cause the portion of
generated computer related metric data to be packaged. A quality metric
module receives the schema-based package start data and accesses the
indicated portion of computer related metric data. The quality metric
module packages the portion of computer related metric data according to
a packaging schema. The application sends a package send command to cause
the packaged portion of computer related metric data to be delivered. The
quality metric module receives the package send command and sends the
packaged portion of computer related metric data in response to the
package send command.
