If you want to view the details of a trace, click Trace ID in the query results to go to the Trace Details page. The Trace Details page displays the sequence diagram and topology of a trace. You can view the details of the trace, such as the application type and call method. You can also obtain the call relationships of the trace based on the upstream and downstream nodes in the topology.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the Real-time Monitoring Service (RMS) console. In the left-side navigation pane, click Distributed Trace > Trace Query.

  2. On the Trace Query page, set the following parameters to specify search criteria. For more information, see Query trace.

  3. In the query results, click the ID of a specific trace. The Trace Details page appears.

    • Link diagram: The link diagram of the link is displayed on the link details page by default. For more information, see Link diagram display.

    • Sequence diagram: By default, the Trace Details page displays the sequence diagram of the trace. For more information, see Link diagram display.

    • Topology: Click the topology icon and view the call topology between upstream and downstream nodes in a trace.

Link diagram display

By default, the Trace Details page displays the sequence diagram of the trace. You can view the information about the trace, such as the application name, IP address, call type, call status, service information, unitization information, and time consumption. The call status can be a success or failure.

To view the details of a treemap, click a specific trace. You can view failed calls and the calls that consume an extended period of time in the entire trace based on the treemap.

To set a call satisfaction threshold (you can refer to ), use different colors in the call tree diagram to identify the values of different intervals (as shown in the figure below), which helps you quickly find application performance problems.

To view information about other traces, click the application name.

  • Click the Trace Logs tab and view information about logs. If you specify a log file path, you can view the information about logs that are returned.

    Click View More to go to the Log Query page. On the Log Query page, parameters such as the trace ID and application name are automatically filled in. The system then automatically queries the corresponding log information based on these parameters.

  • Click Go to the application monitoring details page in the upper-right corner to go to the Application Monitoring page. The page displays the details of application metrics, such as system metrics and Java virtual machine (JVM) metrics.

Topology diagram display

Click the topology icon to go to the single trace topology page. You can view the call topology between the upstream and downstream nodes in the trace, as shown in the following figure. You can also move the pointer over the application node icon to view the performance data of each node or call relationships, such as the number of requests, response time, and error rate for the application.

Timing chart display

Click the timing chart icon to switch to the single link timing chart display page and view the complete call relationship between applications.

  • Application name: Displays the application name in the order of request sending time.

  • Call identification: Identification of initiating and accepting requests.

  • Call connection: Displays the service information and time consumption of the call.
