Abstract

A tracing system may define an origin for consolidating and comparing trace paths within a traced application. A tracer may define an identifier that may be passed through a tracing route, and the identifier may be defined to capture specific instances or groups of instances of traces. The traces may be consolidated into a graphical representation of the program flow. The identifier may be passed across various boundaries, including function boundaries, library boundaries, application boundaries, device boundaries. An analysis system may consolidate or aggregate trace results having the same identifier, and may render such data graphically or provide statistics using the identified datasets.
