PERFORMING CALL STACK SAMPLING
First Claim
1. A method for sampling an application thread to monitor a request, comprising:
- detecting a diagnostic event with respect to the processing of a request;
sampling a thread call stack associated with the request in response to detecting the diagnostic event;
storing a state of the call stack with timing information based on the sampling; and
transmitting the call stack state and timing information to a remote server.

Abstract
The present technology may determine an anomaly in a portion of a distributed business application. Data can automatically be captured and analyzed for the portion of the application associated with the anomaly. By automatically capturing data for just the portion associated with the anomaly, the present technology reduces the resource and time requirements associated with other code-based solutions for monitoring transactions. A method for sampling an application thread to monitor a request may begin with detecting a diagnostic event with respect to the processing of a request. A thread call stack associated with the request may be sampled in response to detecting the diagnostic event. A state of the call stack may be stored with timing information based on the sampling. The call stack state and timing information may be transmitted to a remote server.

11. A computer readable storage medium having embodied thereon a program, the program being executable by a processor to perform a method for sampling an application thread to monitor a request, the method comprising:
-
detecting a diagnostic event with respect to the processing of a request; sampling a thread call stack associated with the request in response to detecting the diagnostic event; storing a state of the call stack with timing information based on the sampling; and transmitting the call stack state and timing information to a remote server.

12. A system for monitoring a business transaction, comprising:
-
a first application server having memory; and one or more modules stored in memory of the first application server and executable by a processor to detect a diagnostic event with respect to the processing of a request, sample a thread call stack associated with the request in response to detecting the diagnostic event, store a state of the call stack with timing information based on the sampling, and transmit the call stack state and timing information to a remote server
