Abstract

ACID transactions have proven to be a very useful mechanism of ensuring reliability of applications. Guaranteeing transactional properties effectively and correctly is a challenging task by itself. Furthermore, investigating transaction issues in a distributed environment is at least equally complex and requires systematic data collection and analysis. In this paper, we present mechanisms and concepts of distributed tracing with focus on the OpenTracing API and showcase our integration of tracing capabilities into the Narayana transaction manager. We show that the performance impact of tracing does not drastically decrease user application performance while providing useful information for the analysis of running transactions.
