Abstract
A method of rendering a graphical user interface (GUI) comprising an application topology graph for a microservice architecture comprises generating a plurality of traces from a first plurality of spans generated by instrumented services in the architecture and generating generate a second plurality of spans for uninstrumented services using information extracted from the first plurality of spans. The method further comprises grouping the second plurality of spans with the plurality of traces. Subsequently, the method comprises traversing the traces and collecting a plurality of span pairs from the plurality of traces, wherein each pair of the span pairs is associated with a call between two services. The method also comprises aggregating information across the plurality of span pairs to reduce duplicative information associated with multiple occurrences of a same span pair from the plurality of span pairs. Finally, the method comprises rendering the application topology graph using the aggregated information.
