Braid, Break-in, Cord, Coupled, Delay Dynamics
Explore essential software trace and log analysis patterns such as braid of activity, break-in events, cords of activity, coupled activities, and delay dynamics. Understand how multiple threads and processes interact and diagnose issues through detailed activity patterns, improving root cause analysis in software environments.
We'll cover the following...
Braid of activity
If we consider a log as a text, ignore its column structure, and search for a particular attribute value (for example, PID), we get a message set. This message set consists of messages that have the searched attribute value as a column (adjoint thread of activity). It also has the particular attribute value referenced in the messages’ text. We call this pattern braid of activity, because, metaphorically, it looks like adjoint threads of activity crossing each other (like multi-braiding).
Break-in activity
This is a message or a set of messages that surface just before the end of discontinuity of ...
