System and method for non-intrusive context correlation across cloud services

Abstract:

In accordance with an accordance, described herein is a system and method for providing non-intrusive context correlation across a plurality of cloud services in different cloud environments. A cloud service context correlator can be configured with each cloud service, and can pass a common identifier through the cloud services. The cloud service context correlator can identify one or more loggers in a cloud service and their types, and create a log formatter for each logger based on its type to inject the common identifier into log messages generated by the logger. The injected common identifier can correlate log messages from the cloud services, and can be used to search for the correlated log messages in a dashboard of a data visualization tool. The cloud service context correlator does not require code changes for each cloud service, and can be applied to a synchronous or asynchronous representational state transfer (REST) flow.
