Abstract

The invention relates to a computer-implemented method for monitoring memory allocation during execution of an application in a distributed computing environment, comprising: intercepting, by an agent, bytecode for the application while the application is being loaded, where the agent resides on the computing device; and extracting, by the agent, a control flow graph from the bytecode before the step of identifying execution paths in the application, where each node in the control flow graph belongs to only one identified execution path and the application resides on a computing device; identifying execution paths in the application using the control flow graph; for each identified execution path in the application, determining memory allocations which occur during execution of a given execution path; for each identified execution path in the application, determining only one location for an allocation counter in the given execution path, where the allocation counter in the given execution path increments in response to execution of the given execution path; for each identified execution path in the application, instrumenting the given execution path with an allocation counter at the location, where the allocation counter is placed at the location in the given execution path and the allocation counter reports a count value for the allocation counter; receiving, by the agent, the count value reported by the allocation counter; formulating, by the agent, memory allocation data for the given execution path, where the memory allocation data includes the count value reported by the allocation counter; sending, by the agent, the memory allocation data to a monitoring server located remotely from the first computing device; monitoring, by a sensor instrumented in the application, execution of a transaction which performed the memory allocations; sending, by the sensor, transaction data to the monitoring server, where the transaction data includes an identifier for the transaction; and correlating, by the monitoring server, the transaction data with the memory allocation data, wherein the memory allocation data includes at least one of the identifier for the transaction or an identifier for a thread which executed the application. Further, a computer-implemented system for monitoring memory allocation during execution of an application in a distributed computing environment is provided.
