  • Method and system for transaction controlled sampling of distributed heterogeneous transactions without source code modifications
    Patent number: 9811362
    Abstract: A system and method for tracing individual transactions on method call granularity is disclosed. The system uses instrumentation based transaction tracing mechanisms to enhance thread call stack sampling mechanisms by a) only sampling threads executing monitored transactions while execution is ongoing b) tagging sampled call stacks with a transaction identifier for correlation of sampled call stacks with instrumentation bases tracing data. The combination of instrumentation based tracing with thread call stack sampling reduces sampling generated overhead by only sampling relevant thread, and reduces instrumentation generated overhead because it allows reducing instrumentation.

  • Transaction tracing mechanism of distributed heterogenous transactions having instrumented byte code with constant memory consumption and independent of instrumented method call depth
    Patent number: 9274919

  • Method and system for tracing individual transactions at the granularity level of method calls throughout distributed heterogeneous applications without source code modifications including the detection of outgoing requests
    Patent number: 8832665
    Abstract: A monitoring system uses existing tracing data describing individual distributed transactions to determine if a recorded thread communication performed by the monitored transactions is internal to a monitored application or whether the recorded thread communication is an outgoing communication. Thread communications which are sent and received by threads that are monitored by the monitoring system are considered to be internal communications. Thread communications for which only the sending thread is monitored are considered to be outgoing communications. The determination process analyzes client side tracing data of the recorded thread communication and determines whether corresponding server side tracing data is available. If no corresponding server side tracing data is available, the thread communication is considered to be an outgoing communications. Examples of thread communications include HTTP requests, web service calls, and remote method invocations.

  • Method and System for Transaction Controlled Sampling of Distributed Hetereogeneous Transactions without Source Code Modifications
    Publication number: 20120304172
    Abstract: A system and method for tracing individual transactions at the granularity of method calls uses instrumentation based transaction tracing mechanisms to enhance thread call stack sampling mechanisms by a) only sampling threads executing monitored transactions while execution is ongoing; and b) tagging sampled call stacks with a transaction ID for correlation of sampled call stacks with instrumentation based tracing data. The combination of instrumentation based tracing with thread call stack sampling reduces sampling generated overhead by only sampling relevant threads, and reduces instrumentation generated overhead because it allows reducing instrumentation.
