Abstract
A first subset of information about a transaction is received from a first application. The first application has a first monitoring technique. A second subset of information about the transaction is received from a second application. The second application has a second monitoring technique that is different from the first monitoring technique. The first subset of information is combined with the second subset of information to produce composite information about the transaction.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving a first subset of information about a transaction from a first application, wherein the first application has a first monitoring technique;
- receiving a second subset of information about the transaction from a second application, wherein the second application has a second monitoring technique, and wherein the first monitoring technique is a different technique than the second monitoring technique;
- and
- combining the first subset of information with the second subset of information to produce composite information about the transaction.
A computer program product stored in a computer readable medium, comprising functional descriptive material that, when executed by an information handling system, causes the information handling system to perform actions comprising:
- receiving a first subset of information about a transaction from a first application, wherein the first application has a first monitoring technique;
- receiving a second subset of information about the transaction from a second application, wherein the second application has a second monitoring technique, and wherein the first monitoring technique is a different technique than the second monitoring technique;
- and
- combining the first subset of information with the second subset of information to produce composite information about the transaction.
An information handling system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a memory accessible by at least one of the processors;
- a nonvolatile storage medium accessible by at least one of the processors;
- a set of instructions stored in the memory and executed by at least one of the processors in order to perform actions of:
- receiving a first subset of information about a transaction from a first application, wherein the first application has a first monitoring technique;
- receiving a second subset of information about the transaction from a second application, wherein the second application has a second monitoring technique, and wherein the first monitoring technique is a different technique than the second monitoring technique;
- and
- combining the first subset of information with the second subset of information to produce composite information about the transaction.
