Abstract
Techniques are described for end-to-end network tracing involving external services. In one example, a synthetic agent identifies one or more external services that are involved in a process for interacting with a target application server. In response to identifying the one or more external services, the synthetic agent obtains telemetry data associated with the one or more external services. The synthetic agent correlates the telemetry data associated with the one or more external services and telemetry data associated with the target application server to generate an end-to-end network trace associated with the target application server.
