Abstract: An online distributed computer system with methodologies for distributed trace aggregation and targeting distributed tracing. In one aspect, the disclosed distributed tracing technologies improve on existing distributed tracing technologies by providing to application developers and site operations personnel a more holistic and comprehensive insight into the behavior of the online distributed computer system in the form of computed span metric aggregates displayed in a graphical user interface thereby making it easier for such personnel to diagnose problems in the system and to support and maintain the system. In another aspect, the disclosed distributed tracing technologies improve on existing distributed tracing technologies by facilitating targeted tracing of initiator requests.
