Automatic span context propagation to worker threads in rich-client applications

A system comprising:

• a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable program instructions;
• and
• at least one processor communicatively coupled to the non-transitory computer-readable medium and executing the computer-executable program instructions for:
• creating, from an application, a global tracer configured to log tracing data for a web page application;
• instantiating, from the application, a wrapper for a subsidiary thread, the wrapper configured to execute shim code before executing the subsidiary thread;
• passing, from the wrapper to the shim code, configuration data of the global tracer;
• and
• creating, from the shim code and the configuration data, a subsidiary tracer, the subsidiary tracer configured to log tracing data for the subsidiary thread.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable program instructions that when executed by a processor, perform operations comprising:

• creating, from an application, a global tracer configured to log tracing data for a web page application;
• instantiating, from the application, a wrapper for a subsidiary thread, the wrapper configured to execute shim code before executing the subsidiary thread;
• passing, from the wrapper to the shim code, configuration data of the global tracer;
• and
• creating, from the shim code and the configuration data, a subsidiary tracer, the subsidiary tracer configured to log tracing data for the subsidiary thread.
