A real-time dynamic API traffic shaping and infrastructure resource protection in a multiclient network environment is provided. A traffic rules engine (TRE) applies traffic shaping only to customers that are utilizing 'more than their fair share' of the currently available bandwidth without allowing them to negatively impact the user experience of other users. The present invention takes current API traffic into consideration, allowing one or a few high volume users to utilize most of all available bandwidth as long as other users do not need that bandwidth. This includes dynamically measuring and adjusting which users had traffic shaping applied to them based on the overall traffic during any given second. The solution of the present invention avoids any slowdown of customer API requests unless the maximum allowable TPS limit is near to being reached.

Method and apparatus for real-time dynamic application programming interface (API) traffic shaping and infrastructure resource protection in a multiclient network environment

A method, system and computer program product are disclosed for routing performance data to compute nodes. According to one aspect of the present disclosure each of a plurality of compute nodes are assigned a topic. Each topic may be associated with a set of calculations. Labeled performance metrics for an application are received. Each performance metric is labeled with a context under which the performance metric was collected. A topic is associated with each of the performance metrics based on the labeled context. Each respective node listens for a topic assigned to it in order to access the performance metrics associated with the assigned topic. Each respective node analyzes the performance metrics associated with the topic assigned to it.

Routing of performance data to dependent calculators

There is provided a method that includes (i) examining first data from a first Application Program Interface (API) call and second data from a second API call to determine whether (a) the first API call sent a message, and the second API call received the message, or (b) the first API call was conducted in a transactional unit of work, and the second API was also conducted in the transactional unit of work, and (ii) employing the first data and the second data in a subsequent process, if either of (a) or (b) is true.

Method and apparatus for correlation of events in a distributed multi-system computing environment

A method and system is disclosed for monitoring an operation of a distributed data processing system. The system can include a plurality of applications running on a plurality of host processors and communicating with one another, such as through a message passing technique. The method includes steps executed in individual ones of the plurality of applications, of (a) examining individual ones of generated API calls to determine if a particular API call meets predetermined API call criteria; (b) if a particular API call meets the predetermined API call criteria, storing all or a portion of the content of the API call as a stored event; (c) processing a plurality of the stored events to identify logically correlated events, such as those associated with a business transaction; and (d) displaying all or a portion of the stored API call content data for the logically correlated events.
