The invention relates to an embedded system on board an aircraft for detection and response to incidents with log recording, the aircraft comprising a calculator comprising applications using and generating data and being configured to detect events based on these data and predefined information specifying these events.
The system comprises, for the calculator, an agent and a collector. The agent is an application component dedicated to an identified application and is configured to apply an incident detection logic to the detected events in order to detect at least one incident and to send to the collector, through detection messages, each detected incident according to a configurable transmission logic. The collector is configured to receive the messages and to apply, to the messages, a configurable recording logic of the messages in one or several log(s).
