In one embodiment, a method includes operating at least one distributed software application. The method further includes receiving a web request from an end-user information handling system in connection with the at least one distributed software application. Further, the method includes generating a transaction identifier for the transaction. Moreover, the method includes processing the transaction. The processing includes generating backend-performance data indexed by the transaction identifier. Additionally, the method includes injecting the transaction identifier into a web response to the web request. Also, the method includes transmitting the web response to the end-user information handling system along a transmission path. In addition, the method includes, at a node along the transmission path, passively observing the response and generating end-user experience data therefrom.

System and method for correlating end-user experience data and backend-performance data

In one embodiment, a method is performed on a computer system comprising computer hardware. The method includes inserting, at an instrumentation point of a target program, an event generator comprising an instrumentation identifier. The method further includes registering the instrumentation identifier in instrumentation records. The instrumentation records link the instrumentation identifier to a dynamically variable event handler. In addition, the method includes, responsive to an event generated by the event generator, receiving a callback comprising the instrumentation identifier. Further, the method includes, using the instrumentation identifier, identifying in the instrumentation records the dynamically variable event handler. Additionally, the method includes invoking the dynamically variable event handler. Also, the method includes collecting data related to execution of the target program using the invoked dynamically variable event handler.

System and method for dynamic data collection

In one embodiment, a method includes initiating execution of an application, the application utilizing a hash table data structure to map a plurality of keys to a plurality of values. The method further includes, the application checking a memory for a cached hash table capacity indicator from a previous run of the application. In addition, the method includes, responsive to no cached hash table capacity indicator being found in the memory: creating a first hash table with an initial capacity; populating the first hash table with a plurality of runtime entries; determining an improved hash table capacity based, at least in part, on a quantity of the plurality of runtime entries; creating a second hash table with the improved hash table capacity; copying the plurality of runtime entries to the second hash table; and the application using the second hash table in place of the first hash table.
