Abstract

The present technology correlates tasks between multiple threads of an application. A payload consisting of a task object may be identified as part of a method. Identification of the task object may be performed using instrumentation or some other method. Once the task object is identified, the payload may be instrumented to track the task object or payload and correlate the task object with other executing threads. Instrumenting the payload may include determining the constructor of the task object and instrumenting the task object constructors to determine what creates the task object. Once the source of a task object or payload is determined, the current thread having the task object as a parameter and another thread which creates the task may be tied together as part of a business transaction.
