Abstract
A technology is disclosed for maximizing the creation of transaction trace data by multiple, different monitoring data sources like agents having individual volume constraints for created trace data. Trace context data identifying individual transactions and containing shared randomness data is propagated between agents and used in created trance data to maintain transaction identity in trace data fragments and for consistent sampling decisions. Sampling decisions for individual trace data fragments are based on the shared randomness data and on an agent-autonomously defined sampling probability. Values of randomness data and sampling probability are restricted to a limited number, like the values of a geometric series with a common ratio of 1/2. Shared randomness data and sampling probability are included in created trace data. Restricting randomness data and sampling probability to values of a geometric series with common ratio 1/2 leads to additional numeric advantages for the computer implemented calculation of estimation results.
