MONITORING AND CORRELATING A BINARY PROCESS IN A DISTRIBUTED BUSINESS TRANSACTION

摘要

A dynamic monitoring process begins with configuring a start and end method to be monitored. The dynamic monitoring process may intercept both the start and end methods as and when the loader is initiated or at runtime to dynamically attach and detach the instrumentation. A loader may then be modified to call a library method upon detection of the start method. The library method may serve as a notification to the start of the method and causes a reflector to retrieve information from the incoming request. The incoming information may include data from which a business transaction name may be determined. The business transaction name is then associated with the monitoring of the particular request. When an exit call is detected, a call may be made to the library for a method which invokes a decorator. The decorator may insert business transaction name and other data into the outgoing call.

1. A method for monitoring a binary process, comprising:
monitoring a binary process on a first machine; detecting communication with the binary process by a second application on a second machine, the second application not a binary process; and correlating the binary process and the second application as part of a distributed business transaction across the first machine and the second machine.
