Abstract
Asynchronous operations associated with a request such as synchronous threads, runnable elements, callable elements, and other invokable objects are tracked to determine the metrics about the request and operations. The present technology tracks the start and end of each asynchronous operation and maintains a counter which tracks the currently executing asynchronous operations. By monitoring the request, the start and end of each asynchronous operation associated with the request, and the number of asynchronous operations currently executing, the present technology may identify the end of a request by identifying when the last asynchronous operation associated with the request ends. In some instances, the present technology identifies the end of a request when a counter which tracks the number of asynchronous operations executing reaches a value of zero after the first asynchronous operation has already begun.
