Abstract
In one embodiment, a logging process initiates a trace of an execution flow across a plurality of processes, and creates a log context for the trace, the log context having a universally unique identifier (UUID) and an indication that the trace is to be performed as the plurality of processes are executed during the execution flow. The logging process manages passage of the log context across the plurality of processes during the execution flow, and gathers log entries from the plurality of processes based on the UUID for the trace, where the log entries were created based on the indication being within the log context. As such, the logging process may stitch the log entries into a flow execution log for the trace of the execution flow.
