Abstract
A system for preserving causality of audits may include an upstream service, a downstream service, and an audit service. The upstream service receives a first request including a trace ID and a first span ID, generates a first audit concerning a resource owned by the upstream service and having the trace ID and the first span ID as metadata, persists the first audit to a first database, and generates a second request including the trace ID, a parent span ID, and a second span ID. The downstream service receives the second request from the upstream service, generates a second audit concerning a resource owned by the downstream service and having the trace ID, second span ID, and parent span ID as metadata, and persists the second audit to a second database. The audit service receives and asynchronously centralizes the first and second audits. The metadata can be used to infer causality of the audits. A method for preserving causality of audits is also disclosed and claimed.
