Abstract: Described are systems, methods, and techniques profiled call stack linking. Data relating to functions that are part of call stacks can be captured from a series of snapshots. Frame information for the identified functions (e.g., a span ID, trace ID) can be identified and indexed. Responsive to receiving a query for a visualization specifying one or more criteria (e.g., all frames that are part of a span), all frames corresponding with the criteria can be identified. An action can be performed using the identified frames, such as generating a visualization of the identified frames for use in deriving insights into the functions being executed as part of a call stack.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods, systems and computer-program products in support of dynamic calling context encoding, in which call graph evolution is recorded in parallel with call events. In part, this can enable a calling context to be encoded on the fly at a low processing overhead without advance knowledge of the complete call graph.
