Patent ID: 8826060

Claim:
A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving, at a second processor, a first request message from a first processor, the first request message including a first timestamp indicating the time, relative to a clock of the first processor, at which the first message was sent by the first processor; generating, at the second processor, a second timestamp indicating the time, relative to a clock of the second processor, at which the second processor receives the first request message; generating, at the second processor, a third timestamp indicating the time, relative to the clock of the second processor, at which the second processor logs the first request message into a log of the second processor; determining, at the second processor, a relative timestamp indicating the time, relative to the clock of the first processor, at which the second processor logged the first request message into the log of the second processor, the determining being based on the first timestamp, the second timestamp, the third timestamp, and metadata representative of network latency between the first timestamp and the second timestamp; and logging the relative timestamp into the log of the second processor.
