Abstract: Monitoring and troubleshooting tools provide the capability to visualize different levels of a client's application that is deployed as a suite of independent but cooperating services (e.g., an application that includes a monolithic application and a microservices-based application), collect values of monitored or tracked metrics at those different levels, and visualize values of the metrics at those levels. For example, metrics values can be generated for components of the monolithic application and/or for components of a microservice of the microservice-based application.

Abstract: A method of rendering a graphical user interface (GUI) comprising an application topology graph for a microservice architecture comprises generating a plurality of traces from a first plurality of spans generated by instrumented services in the architecture and generating generate a second plurality of spans for uninstrumented services using information extracted from the first plurality of spans. The method further comprises grouping the second plurality of spans with the plurality of traces. Subsequently, the method comprises traversing the traces and collecting a plurality of span pairs from the plurality of traces, wherein each pair of the span pairs is associated with a call between two services. The method also comprises aggregating information across the plurality of span pairs to reduce duplicative information associated with multiple occurrences of a same span pair from the plurality of span pairs. Finally, the method comprises rendering the application topology graph using the aggregated information.

Abstract: A method of persisting and querying Real User Monitoring (RUM) data comprises grouping together spans associated with a user-interaction with a webpage or application that are ingested during a given time duration. The method also comprises generating one or more data sets each associated with an analysis modality using the grouped spans, wherein each analysis modality extracts a different level of detail from the spans. Further, the method comprises selecting, based on a first user query, a first analysis modality for generating a response to the first user query and accessing a data set that is associated with the first analysis modality. The method also comprises generating the response to the first user query using the data set associated with the first analysis modality, wherein the first user query requests information pertaining to a performance of the application in response to the user-interaction.

Abstract: A method of performing error analysis in a system comprising microservices comprises identifying a root cause error span from among a plurality of error spans for a trace, wherein an error span is a span that returns an error to a microservice that generates the span, and wherein a root cause error span is an error span associated with an error originating microservice. The method further comprises determining a call path associated with the root cause error span, where the call path comprises a chain of spans starting at the root cause error span, and where each subsequent span in the chain is a parent span of a prior span. Subsequently the method comprises mapping each span in the chain to a span error frame to create an error stack and rendering an image of the error stack.

Abstract: A method of identifying exemplary spans associated with a real user session comprises aggregating ingested spans associated with user interaction with an application during the user session. The method also comprises segmenting the user session into chunks and storing each chunk with an identifier indicating a location of a respective chunk. Further, responsive to user-specified parameters included in a query, the method comprises accessing a chunk using a respective identifier and applying the user-specified parameters to spans in the chunk. Additionally, the method comprises rendering a waterfall visualization comprising exemplary spans associated with the user session, wherein the exemplary spans surface in response to the applying the user-specified parameters to the plurality of spans in the chunk.

Abstract: A method of rendering a service graph responsive to a query comprises generating a plurality of frontend traces and a plurality of backend traces associated with an application or website. The method also comprises determining connection information between one or more frontend traces of the plurality of frontend traces and corresponding backend traces of the plurality of backend traces. Further, the method comprises consolidating the one or more frontend traces with the corresponding backend traces to form one or more end-to-end traces using the connection information. Responsive to the query, the method comprises retrieving a set of exemplary end-to-end traces from the one or more end-to-end traces and rendering a service graph in accordance with constraints applied in the query using the set of exemplary end-to-end traces and the connection information.
