Intelligent distributed tracing

Abstract:

An approach for distributed tracing is provided. The approach for distributed tracing comprises receiving a user request for a transaction by one or more processing units, and extracting feature data from the received user request by one or more processing units. Further, if the extracted feature data matches at least one policy generated based on at least one error response received from at least one service is determined by one or more processing units and the at least one service is instructed to collect tracing data for the transaction in a head-based fashion responsive to the extracted feature data matching at least one policy by one or more processing units.
