Abstract
A system and method for profiling a request in a service system with kernel events including a pre-processing module configured to obtain kernel event traces from the service system and determine starting and ending communication pairs of a request path for a request. A learning module is configured to learn pairwise relationships between the starting and ending communication pairs of training traces of sequential requests. A generation module is configured to generate communication paths for the request path from the starting and ending communication pairs of testing traces of concurrent requests using a heuristic procedure that is guided by the learned pairwise relationships and generate the request path for the request from the communication paths. The system and method precisely determine request paths for applications in a distributed system from kernel event traces even when there are numerous concurrent requests.
