CORRELATION OF ACTIVITIES ACROSS A DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM

A method and system for tracking activities relating to a common transaction executed across multiple services of a distributed computing environment. An aggregator receives intra-service activity information from collectors associated with a first service and a second service of the distributed computing environment. The aggregator identifies a first inter-service communication correlation linking the intra-service activity information of the first service to a first inter-service message. The aggregator further identifies a second inter-service communication correlation linking the intra-service activity information of the second service to the second inter-service message. The aggregator identifies an inter-service communication correlation linking the first inter-service message with the second inter-service message and associates the intra-service activity of the first service with the intra-service activity of the second service using the inter-service communication correlation.
