Integrating Traffic and Runtime Data for Application Diagnostics
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current application management techniques lack integration of traffic monitoring data and application runtime data, making it difficult to understand user impact and diagnose issues effectively, as they focus on either user interaction or component-level diagnostics separately.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that integrate traffic monitoring data and application runtime data to provide a comprehensive view, allowing for enhanced capacity planning, troubleshooting, and user-friendly diagnostics by correlating client interactions with application component execution data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If traffic monitoring is used to measure user interaction impact, then user impact measurement is improved, but detailed execution information is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines traffic monitoring data (user interaction perspective) with application runtime data (component execution perspective) into a unified monitoring system. This merging allows the system to simultaneously measure user impact through traffic data while capturing detailed execution information through runtime data collection from application components.
2Measurement precision
If component level monitoring is used to obtain detailed execution data, then diagnostic information is improved, but user impact measurement is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The system integrates component-level runtime monitoring with traffic monitoring, allowing simultaneous collection of detailed diagnostic information from application components and user impact measurements from traffic data. The unified system correlates these two data sources to provide both perspectives.
3Adaptability or versatility
If separate monitoring systems are used for traffic and application runtime data, then monitoring specialization is improved, but data integration capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges separate traffic monitoring and application runtime monitoring systems into a unified monitoring platform. This integration maintains the specialized capabilities of each monitoring type while adding data correlation functionality to connect traffic data with runtime data through request-response pairing and component invocation tracking.
Data Source
AI summary
Information is obtained from an application monitoring system which monitors the execution of an application and a traffic monitoring system which monitors traffic between clients and the application. The clients interact with the application to perform transactions or other tasks. Traffic monitoring data, such as information regarding defects and incidents, and application runtime data, such as traces of invoked application components, can be integrated in an output such as an interface to provide an enhanced understanding of system performance. Related traffic monitoring data and application runtime data can be linked by a request-response pair identifier associated with a request provided to the application and a response provided by the application.
