Detailed end-to-end latency tracking of messages

摘要

Latency information is collected for each message as it moves through an organization. The latency information includes latency information for components processing the message. When the message is routed to the next server within the organization, the collected latency information for the server sending the message is included with the message. The collected latency information is written to a message tracking log when it either is delivered within the organization or when the message leaves the organization. The message tracking log may then be viewed such that the collected latency information may be viewed and analyzed.

主权项

1. A method for determining latency information for processing of electronic messages on servers, the method executing on a processor of a computer, comprising:
receiving a message at a latency server; calculating latency information for different components on the latency server that are involved in processing the message; storing the latency information for each component within the message; and sending the message from the latency server to a different server wherein the message includes the latency information for the latency server that is calculated on the latency server and includes estimated latency information for a legacy server involved in processing the message, and wherein the estimated latency information for the legacy server is estimated by the latency server calculating a difference between a time stamp in a header of the message from the legacy server and a receipt time at the latency server.
