Techniques are described for determining diagnostic information (e.g., a diagnostic identifier) for one or more events related to operations performed in a cloud computer system. A diagnostic identifier may be generated based on diagnostic data corresponding to one or more attributes about an event. A computing operation may be performed to generate a code (e.g., a hash code) for each attribute in the diagnostic data. The generated code(s) may be combined to form a diagnostic identifier to identify the diagnostic data. A comparison may be performed by comparing each code in one diagnostic identifier to a code in another diagnostic identifier corresponding to an attribute for which the codes were generated. A measure of a match between the two identifiers may be determined using a result of the comparison. The measure of the match may enable tracing and analysis of one or more events occurring in the cloud computer system.

Techniques for generating diagnostic identifiers to trace events and identifying related diagnostic information

Techniques are described for determining diagnostic information (e.g., a diagnostic identifier) for one or more requests in a cloud computer system. A diagnostic identifier may be generated based on parameter data corresponding to one or more parameters in a request. A computing operation may be performed to generate a code (e.g., a hash code) for each parameter in the parameter data. The generated code(s) may be combined to form a diagnostic identifier to identify the parameter data. A comparison may be performed by comparing each code in one diagnostic identifier to a code in another diagnostic identifier corresponding to a parameter for which the codes were generated. A measure of a match between the two identifiers may be determined using a result of the comparison. The measure of the match may enable tracing and analysis of one or more requests in the cloud computer system.
