    摘要: 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.

    摘要: A method of analyzing a performance of a microservices-based application comprises generating a plurality of traces from a plurality of spans associated with the microservices-based application. The method also comprises generating a plurality of data sets each associated with a respective analysis mode of a plurality of analysis modes using the plurality of traces, wherein each analysis mode extracts a different level of detail for analyzing the performance of the services in the application from the plurality of spans. Further, the method comprises selecting, based on a first user query, a first analysis mode from the plurality of analysis modes for generating a response to the first user query. The method also comprises accessing a data set of the plurality of data sets that is associated with the first analysis mode and generating the response to the first user query using the data set associated with the first analysis mode.

    摘要: 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.
