Abstract
A method of identifying traces associated with a discrete user-initiated instantiation of a process within a microservices-based application comprises aggregating ingested spans associated with the microservices-based application into traces. The method further comprises identifying a first set of traces from the traces associated with a workflow, wherein the workflow comprises a group of microservices associated with the process implemented by the microservices-based application. Also, the method comprises identifying a second set of traces from the first set of traces, wherein the second set of traces is associated with a discrete user-initiated instantiation of the process.
