A system performs discovery and instrumentation of processes of an application based on process performance. The system includes one or more processors configured to: determine a duration score for a process indicating a relationship between a duration time for the process and a transaction time for a transaction including the process; determine an instrumentation threshold value; determine whether the duration score satisfies the instrumentation threshold value; and in response to determining that the duration score satisfies the instrumentation threshold value, instrument a second process invoked by the process to receive a second duration time for the second process when execution of the second process is detected in a second transaction trace of a second transaction. In some embodiments, the system prunes instrumented processes that primarily invoke subprocesses, and are thus unimportant for performance monitoring.
