Abstract:
1. A method for monitoring transaction performance in a managed computer network environment having a requesting component configured to request a transaction of a servicing component, the method comprising: classifying the transaction into a transaction type; generating, at a node including the requesting component, a correlator for the transaction including information identifying a parent transaction type and a root transaction type of the transaction to send the correlator from the node including the requesting component to a node including the servicing component prior to starting the transaction; recording an event associated with a completion of the transaction; and receiving the correlator for aggregating performance measurements on the transaction completion event based on the information identifying a parent transaction type and a root transaction type of the transaction included in the correlator; wherein the correlator is generated at a node including the servicing component; and wherein the transaction is configured to probe an availability of a service of the servicing component, and a consumer identifier identifying a consumer of the transaction as a probe is included in the correlator.
