Policy-based request tracing using a computer

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to policy-based request tracing in a distributed environment. In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method is disclosed. According to the method, a first set of requests and a second set of requests are determined in a plurality of received requests based on a policy. A first subset of requests is selected from the first set of requests based on a first sampling rate, and a second subset of requests is selected from the second set of requests based on a second sampling rate that is less than the first sampling rate. Executions of the first subset of requests and the second subset of requests on components of a distributed system are then traced. In other embodiments, a system and a computer program product are disclosed.
