Graph analysis and database for aggregated distributed trace flows

One or more computer storage media having computer executable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to execute operations comprising:

• obtaining raw distributed trace data for a system;
• aggregating the raw distributed trace data into aggregated distributed trace data;
• generating a plurality of process flow graphs from the aggregated distributed trace data;
• storing the plurality of process flow graphs in a graphical store;
• receiving a selection of an element of an infrastructure design for the system;
• determining a first critical path from the plurality of process flow graphs based on the infrastructure design for the system, the selected element of the infrastructure design for the system, and at least one selected from the following:
• a traffic volume, an error rate, and a latency for at least one element of each of the plurality of process flow graphs, the infrastructure design comprising a dependency graph indicating dependencies among a plurality of devices and services in the system;
• and
• providing a process flow graph corresponding to the first critical path for graphical display.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memory devices in communication with the one or more processors, the memory devices having computer-readable instructions stored thereupon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• obtain raw distributed trace data for a system;
• aggregate the raw distributed trace data into aggregated distributed trace data;
• generate a plurality of process flow graphs from the aggregated distributed trace data;
• store the plurality of process flow graphs in a graphical store;
• receive a selection of an element of an infrastructure design for the system;
• determine a first critical path from the plurality of process flow graphs based on the infrastructure design for the system, the selected element of the infrastructure design for the system, and at least one selected from the following:
• a traffic volume, an error rate, and a latency for at least one element of each of the plurality of process flow graphs, the infrastructure design comprising a dependency graph indicating dependencies among a plurality of devices and services in the system;
• and
• provide a process flow graph corresponding to the first critical path for graphical display.
