Methods and systems for providing distributed tracing for application performance monitoring utilizing a distributed search engine in a microservices architecture. An example method comprises providing a user interface (UI) including a distributed trace indicating in real time the services invoked to serve an incoming HTTP request including dependent services, the UI further including, in a single view, associated execution times for the services and dependent services shown as a timeline waterfall. The distributed trace automatically propagates a trace ID to link services end-to-end in real time until a response to the request is served. Spans associated with the services and dependent can be compressed using various techniques provided for herein.

Systems and methods provide automatic discovery of cluster membership based on transaction processing. An example method includes, at a source node of a first tier of nodes, generating a service identifier for a transaction that requests a service hosted by a second tier, the service identifier being based on a logical identifier for the second tier. The method also includes sending the transaction, including the service identifier, from the source node to the service hosted by the second tier. The method includes, at a destination node in the second tier, obtaining the service identifier from the transaction and reporting the service identifier with a destination node identifier to a visibility server as cluster information. The method also includes, at the visibility server, receiving cluster information from a plurality of destination nodes and assigning each of the plurality of destination nodes to a cluster based on the service identifiers.
