Abstract

The present technology monitors a web application provided by one or more services. A service may be provided by applications. The monitoring system provides end-to-end business transaction visibility, identifies performance issues quickly and has dynamical scaling capability across monitored systems including cloud systems, virtual systems and physical infrastructures. A message may be placed in an asynchronous queue. The message may be associated with a business transaction. The message in the asynchronous queue may be retrieved by an application. Business transaction information associated with the message may be transmitted to a server by the application.

Claims (36)

1. A method for correlating an asynchronous transaction, comprising:

placing a message in an asynchronous queue;

associating the message with a business transaction after the message is placed in the asynchronous queue, the business transaction associated with a plurality of requests which are processed by two or more distributed servers, wherein associating the message includes modifying the message with business transaction information, the business transaction information including a distributed transaction call chain including a sequence of execution for the business transaction, wherein a first agent on a first server of the two or more distributed servers adds an identifier to the call chain after the request is received by the first server and a second agent on a second server of the two or more distributed servers adds an identifier to the call chain after the request is received by the second server;

retrieving the message in the asynchronous queue by an application residing on one of the two or more distributed servers associated with the business transaction; and

transmitting the business transaction information associated with the message to a remote server by the application.

2. The method of claim 1 , further including processing the message retrieved from the queue, wherein the processing is correlated with the business transaction.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the business transaction information includes server call chain data.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the call chain data indicates an asynchronous request.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein associating the message includes storing message information and corresponding business transaction information in a table.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the message is a request.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

accessing the request from the queue by the application; and

detecting the first parameter in the queued request.

8. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having embodied thereon a program, the program being executable by a processor to perform a method for correlating a distributed transaction, the method comprising:

placing a message in an asynchronous queue;

associating the message with a business transaction after the message is placed in the asynchronous queue, the business transaction associated with a plurality of requests which are processed by two or more distributed servers, wherein associating the message includes modifying the message with business transaction information, the business transaction information including a distributed transaction call chain including a sequence of execution for the business transaction, wherein a first agent on a first server of the two or more distributed servers adds an identifier to the call chain after the request is received by the first server and a second agent on a second server of the two or more distributed servers adds an identifier to the call chain after the request is received by the second server;

retrieving the message in the asynchronous queue by an application residing on one of the two or more servers associated with the business transaction; and

transmitting the business transaction information associated with the message to a remote server by the application.

9. A system comprising:

one or more processors;

a memory associated with each of the one or more processors; and

one or more modules stored in the memory and executed by the one or more processors to place a message in an asynchronous queue, associate the message with a business transaction after the message is placed in the asynchronous queue, the business transaction associated with a plurality of requests which are processed by two or more distributed servers wherein associating the message includes modifying the message with business transaction information, the business transaction information including a distributed transaction call chain including a sequence of execution for the business transaction, wherein a first agent on a first server of the two or more distributed servers adds an identifier to the call chain after the request is received by the first server and a second agent on a second server of the two or more distributed servers adds an identifier to the call chain after the request is received by the second server, retrieve the message in the asynchronous queue by an application residing on one of the two or more servers associated with the business transaction, and transmit the business transaction information associated with the message to a remote server by the application.

10. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the business transaction information includes server call chain data.

11. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the call chain data indicates an asynchronous request.

12. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein associating the message includes storing message information and corresponding business transaction information in a table.

13. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 8 , further including processing the message retrieved from the queue, wherein the processing is correlated with the business transaction.

14. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the message is a request.

15. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 8 , further comprising:

accessing the request from the queue by the application; and

detecting the first parameter in the queued request.

16. The system of claim 9 , the one or more modules further executable to process the message retrieved from the queue, wherein the processing is correlated with the business transaction.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the business transaction information includes server call chain data.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the call chain data indicates an asynchronous request.

19. The system of claim 9 , wherein associating the message includes storing message information and corresponding business transaction information in a table.

20. The system of claim 9 , wherein the message is a request.

21. The system of claim 9 , the one or more modules further executable to access the request from the queue by the application and detect the first parameter in the queued request.
