Patent number: 8893156Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are disclosed for monitoring a distributed application. A particular method identifies a plurality of components of a distributed application. The method also identifies a specific technology associated with a particular component and attaches a technology specific interceptor to the particular component based on the identified specific technology. The method includes intercepting messages that are sent by or received by the particular component using the technology specific interceptor. At least one potential work item is generated based on the intercepted messages. The method includes determining whether to schedule the at least one potential work item for execution based on a predicted impact of the at least one work potential item on performance of the distributed application.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2009Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Alexandre A. Coelho, Venkata Seshu Kumar Kurapati, Ilarie G. Letca, Ashvinkumar J. Sanghvi, Dhananjay M. Mahajan, Rajeev Sudhakar, Anandha K. Ganesan

Patent number: 8402311Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of monitoring activity with respect to a distributed application. A server system includes logical tiers, each including processing system(s) configured to process messages in accordance with a respective protocol (e.g., an ASP.net® protocol, WCF protocol, SQL protocol, etc.). When a user initiates an activity with respect to a distributed application, hops are performed between the logical tiers and/or between components of the distributed application to complete the requested activity. A hop is a transfer of a message or a procedure call from one processing system to another processing system. A common identifier may be assigned to each of the hops that are performed with regard to the activity. If a failure occurs with respect to the activity, the common identifier may be used to gather information regarding the hops. For instance, the information may be used to determine a source of the failure.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2010Date of Patent: March 19, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Venkata Seshu Kumar Kurapati, Ilarie G. Letca, Ashvinkumar J. Sanghvi, Dhananjay Madhusudan Mahajan, Alexandre A. Coelho, Rajeev Sudhakar, Anandha Ganesan

Publication number: 20100241690Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are disclosed for discovering components and dependencies in a distributed computing environment. A particular method includes discovering a first component and a second component of a distributed computing environment, where the first component and the second component are associated with different discoverable technologies. Each component is discovered based on a match between a characteristic of the component and a technology specification associated with the discoverable technology. The method also includes discovering a dependency between the first component and the second component.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2009Publication date: September 23, 2010Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Venkata Seshu Kumar Kurapati, Ilarie G.
