Abstract
In computing environments having multiple computers, where such computers may comprise virtual machines, events are logged in association with corresponding activity identifiers. When a data packet associated with an activity is transferred to a destination machine, the activity identifier corresponding to the activity is transferred along with the data packet and used by the destination machine when logging its events. This allows events from the two machines to be correlated according to the activities to which they pertain.
