A method, a server, and a management system correlate performance data in loosely coupled software, such as network and element management systems, with minimal overhead. The systems and methods can be used to determine performance bottlenecks and interdependencies between components by correlating and analyzing collected data. In an exemplary embodiment, the systems and methods can relate to network management systems (NMSs), element management systems (EMSs), and the like, which are collectively referred to herein as management systems. Management systems can include a loosely coupled software architecture that utilizes a message-based communication mechanism. As messages are processed, synchronous calls between components of the management system as employed as well. For the purpose of performance analysis and optimization, the systems and method correlate data between synchronous and asynchronous interactions as each message is processed through a management system.
