Abstract

The present technology may determine an anomaly in a portion of a distributed business application. Data can automatically be captured and analyzed for the portion of the application associated with the anomaly. By automatically capturing data for just the portion associated with the anomaly, the present technology reduces the resource and time requirements associated with other code-based solutions for monitoring transactions. In an embodiment, a method for monitoring an application may begin with detecting a diagnostic event. A diagnostic identifier may be associated with the request in response to the diagnostic event. An outgoing call may be detected at a first server associated with processing the request. The outgoing call may be modified at the first server to include the diagnostic identifier, the outgoing call with the diagnostic identifier received by a remote computer.
