Patent attributes
Systems and methods for application performance management across one or more networks are disclosed. A system includes a plurality of geographically distributed computing devices executing one or more applications. A plurality of collectors are distributed across the one or more networks, each collector being positioned proximate a respective computing device. The collectors may sample, by each of the plurality of collectors, a plurality of trace events received from the applications executing on the computing devices proximate the collector. The collectors may retain in memory sampled trace events that meet a configurable attribute. The collectors may use probabilistic sets and tail-based sampling to determine root events and policies for identifying relevant traces. Benefits can be achieved in bandwidth savings, network cost and cyber security.
