Multi-dimensional selective tracing

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions, which when executed by one or more processors, cause operations comprising:

• storing, within at least one of volatile or non-volatile storage of at least one computing system, at least one tracing profile including mapping data that maps different respective user roles to different respective tracing options;
• receiving a request to initiate a tracing session using the at least one tracing profile;
• in response to the request to initiate the tracing session using the at least one tracing profile:
• determining a user role based on a user that originated the request to initiate the tracing session;
• identifying, within the mapping data, a set of tracing options that are mapped to the user role, wherein the set of tracing options specifies a set of target types and a set of target dependencies;
• identifying a topology of a set of target resources that are deployed;
• enabling, based at least in part on the topology of the set of target resources that are deployed and the tracing profile, a first subset of trace providers from a plurality of trace providers, wherein the first subset of trace providers includes a first trace provider configured to generate trace data for a first target resource in the set of target resources, wherein the first subset of trace providers includes a second trace provider configured to generate trace data for a second target resource in the set of target resources, wherein the first target resource is dependent on the second target resource and matches at least one target type in the set of target types;
• disabling a second subset of one or more trace providers from the plurality of trace providers that are configured to generate trace data for at least one target resource, in the set of target resources, that does not match a target type in the set of target types;
• generating, by the first subset of trace providers, trace data for a particular subset of target resources, including the first target resource and the second target resource, in the set of target resources.

A system comprising:

• one or more hardware processors;
• one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions, which when executed by the one or more hardware processors, cause:
• storing, within at least one of volatile or non-volatile storage of at least one computing system, at least one tracing profile including mapping data that maps different respective user roles to different respective tracing options;
• receiving a request to initiate a tracing session using the at least one tracing profile;
• in response to the request to initiate a tracing session using the at least one tracing profile:
• determining a user role based on a user that originated the request to initiate the tracing session;
• identifying, within the mapping data, a set of tracing options that are mapped to the user role, wherein the set of tracing options specifies a set of target types and a set of target dependencies;
• identifying a topology of a set of target resources that are deployed;
• enabling, based at least in part on the topology of the set of target resources that are deployed and the tracing profile, a first subset of trace providers from a plurality of trace providers, wherein the first subset of trace providers includes a first trace provider configured to generate trace data for a first target resource in the set of target resources, wherein the first subset of trace providers includes a second trace provider configured to generate trace data for a second target resource in the set of target resources, wherein the first target resource is dependent on the second target resource and matches at least one target type in the set of target types;

• generating, by the first subset of trace providers, trace data for a particular subset of target resources, including the first target resource and the second target resource, in the set of target resources.
