Tracking errors in a computing system that includes a plurality of current error buckets and a plurality of historical error buckets, including: inserting, by an error repository manager into a current error bucket, error information describing a first error identified by a timestamp; moving, by the error repository manager, the error information in the current error bucket to a historical error bucket upon the expiration of the bucket interval, wherein each historical error bucket has a storage interval determined in dependence upon the base time interval associated with the error and a bucket number associated with the historical error bucket; and moving, by the error repository manager, the error information in a source historical error bucket to a destination historical error bucket upon the expiration of the storage interval associated with the source historical error bucket.
