A component tagging system for tagging various components and sub-components used by various processes allows creating a plurality of component tags for various components used in processes in a manner so that the component tags may be used in tracking various resources used by the components. The component tagging system also allows tracking usage of resources by various threads in process thread-pools, wherein the various threads may perform a service or a function on behalf of the components. An alternate embodiment of the component tagging system allows tagging of multi-process components wherein the multi-process components may be used to perform a service or a function across multiple processes.
