A system, method, and techniques for dynamically probing a method are provided. An example method includes identifying a target method to probe in an application. The method also includes modifying the target method to include a call to a helper method that passes a rulename to a native method in a shared object library. The native method includes a marker associated with a probe point inserted in the application at a location relative to the target method, and the rulename identifies the marker associated with the probe point. The method further includes during execution of the application on a computing device, detecting when the target method is invoked. The method also includes when the method is invoked, passing the rulename to the native method in the shared object library.
