1. A method comprising: receiving, by a processing device from a first service collector, first intra-service activity information of a first service of a distributed computing environment, wherein the first intra-service activity information of the first service comprises a first inter-service message between the first service and a second service, and wherein the first intra-service activity information comprises information identifying a plurality of activities associated with a common thread of execution relating to a user request; receiving, by the processing device from a second service collector, second intra-service activity information of the second service of the distributed computing environment, wherein the second intra-service activity information of the second service comprises a second inter-service message between the first service and the second service; identifying, by the processing device, a first inter-service communication correlation linking the first intra-service activity information of the first service to the first inter-service message; identifying, by the processing device, a second inter-service communication correlation linking the second intra-service activity information of the second service to the second inter-service message; applying, by the processing device, a rule defining a selected time frame comprising a first span of time to identify an inter-service communication correlation linking the first inter-service message with the second inter-service message by determining the first inter-service message and the second inter-service message occur within the first span of time of the selected time frame; and associating, by the processing device, the first intra-service activity information of the first service with the second intra-service activity information of the second service using the inter-service communication correlation.
