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., as microservices of a microservices-based architecture), 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 teams of the microservices.

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.

Abstract: A method of tracking errors in a system comprising microservices comprises ingesting a plurality of spans generated by the microservices during a given duration of time. The method further comprises consolidating the plurality of spans associated with the given duration of time into a plurality of traces, wherein each trace comprises a subset of the plurality of spans that comprise a common trace identifier. For each trace, the method comprises: a) mapping a respective trace to one or more error stacks computed for the respective trace and to one or more attributes determined for the respective trace; and b) emitting each error stack computed from the respective trace with an associated pair of attributes. The method then comprises reducing duplicate pairs of error stack and associated attributes and maintaining a count for each pair of error stack and associated attributes.

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 associated with a user-request, wherein an error span is a span that returns an error to a microservice initiating a call resulting in 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 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 rendering a service graph illustrating dependencies between a frontend and a backend of an application comprises generating a plurality of frontend traces from a plurality of frontend spans and generating a plurality of backend traces from a plurality of backend spans ingested from the application. The method also comprises aggregating frontend metrics data using the plurality of frontend traces and backend metrics data using the plurality of backend traces. The method further 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. The method also comprises rendering the service graph using the connection information and the aggregated frontend and backend metrics data.

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.
