Abstract
A performance monitoring system is presented for monitoring and tracing individual transactions, where transaction processing includes sending and receiving messages using messaging systems that do not allow the augmentation of existing messages with monitoring system specific correlation information. Agents are deployed to sender and receiver applications that monitor and report transactions. Both sender and receiver applications are instrumented with sensors that detect and report sending or receiving of such immutable messages. Those sensors also extract correlation data from sent and received data allowing the identification of matching corresponding send/receive pairs. A mapping agent is used to retrieve mapping information from a messaging system which may alter the additional message identification data while messages travel through the system. This mapping information is additionally used for the correlation process.
