Methods and systems of generating a billing feed of a distributed network

摘要

A system and methods are provided for generating a billing feed for a distributed network system and reselling resources of the distributed network system. In one embodiment, a method includes observing a plurality of messages sent and received among components of the distributed network system, generating a call flow graph based on the plurality of messages of the distributed network system, and outputting a billing feed for the distributed network based on the call flow graph, to provide a billing feed including one or more billable events. billable events may be are based on one or more of received requests, underlying resource usage, time of usage, scope of usage. In this regard, the system may provide for one or more models of reselling resources of a distributed network system.

1. A method of generating a billing feed for a distributed network system providing cloud services, the method comprising: observing, by a tracing, service implemented on one or more processors, a plurality of messages sent and received among one or more service components of the distributed network system providing cloud services, wherein the observing includes receiving one or more sequences of message traces transmitted by the one or more service components, the one or more service components modified to transmit message traces in response to sending or receiving of messages; generating, by the tracing service, a call flow graph encoding of causal relationships between processing activities of the one or more service components of the distributed network system, the generating being based on the plurality of messages of the distributed network system; and outputting, by the tracing service, a billing feed for the distributed network based on the call flow graph encoding, to provide a billing feed including one or more billable events.
