In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for conditional call path monitoring in a distributed transactional middleware environment. A cache can be provided in local memory, for use by an agent in the reporting and aggregation of call path metrics. When the agent collects such metrics, it does not report them immediately to a system and application monitor (SAM) manager (e.g., Tuxedo System and Application Monitor, TSAM), but instead stores them in the cache, indexed by correlation ID (identifier). When a predefined condition is met at a participating node, that node propagates a corresponding correlation ID to other participating nodes, via the SAM manager. The other participating nodes can then search for the correlation ID in the cache, and report to the SAM manager metrics of call paths which meet the condition.
