In response to this determination, the inventory server may redirect the request for the content item to a selected one of the delivery servers. The selected delivery server can then serve the content item to the end user system. | 06-18-2009 |

| 20110258209 | RULE ORGANIZATION FOR EFFICIENT TRANSACTION PATTERN MATCHING - Efficiently identifying transactions processed by a software application, such as a server application is disclosed. In one embodiment, transactions are identified by applying a set of rules to communications between a client and server to determine whether certain patterns are in the communications. For example, the rules may look for some combination of parameters in the transactions. As a particular example, the rules may be used to look for parameters in HTTP requests. The rules are organized in a way that allows efficient processing. For example, the rules may be organized based on the frequency with which the parameters are expected to occur in the transactions and the frequency with which each transaction is expected to occur. The rules may be updated if the expected frequencies deviate from actual frequencies, such that the rules can be organized for more efficient processing. | 10-20-2011 |
| 20110283263 | CONDITIONAL DYNAMIC INSTRUMENTATION OF SOFTWARE IN A SPECIFIED TRANSACTION CONTEXT - Techniques for analyzing software in which un-instrumented components can be discovered and conditionally instrumented during a runtime of the software. Initially, software such as an application can be configured with a baseline set of instrumented components such as methods. As the application runs, performance data gathered from the instrumentation may indicate that the performance of some methods is below expectations. To analyze this, any methods which are callable from a method at issue are discovered, such as by inspecting the byte code of loaded classes in a JAVA Virtual Machine (JVM). To limit and focus the diagnosis, the instrumentation which is added to the discovered components can be conditional, so that the instrumentation is executed only in a specified context. The context can involve, e.g., a specified sequence of components in which a discovered component is called, and/or transaction data in which a discovered component is called. | 11-17-2011 |
| 20110283264 | DETECTION OF METHOD CALLS TO STREAMLINE DIAGNOSIS OF CUSTOM CODE THROUGH DYNAMIC INSTRUMENTATION - A technique for analyzing software in which un-instrumented components can be discovered and dynamically instrumented during a runtime of the software. Initially, an application configured with a baseline set of instrumented components such as methods. As the application runs, performance data is gathered from the instrumentation, and it may be learned that the performance of some methods is an issue. To analyze the problem, any methods which are callable from a method at issue are discovered by inspecting the byte code of loaded classes in a JAVA Virtual Machine (JVM). Byte code of the class is parsed to identify opcodes which invoke byte code to call other methods. An index to an entry in a constants pool table is identified based on an opcode. A decision can then be made to instrument and/or report the discovered methods. | 11-17-2011 |
| 20110283265 | FAILSAFE MECHANISM FOR DYNAMIC INSTRUMENTATION OF SOFTWARE USING CALLBACKS - A failsafe mechanism for installing and removing temporary instrumentation during a runtime of an application. Initially, an application is configured with a baseline set of instrumented components such as methods. Additional instrumentation is then deployed in the application, such as to diagnose a performance problem. The failsafe mechanism ensures that the additional instrumentation is automatically removed, even when there is an interruption in a communication link to the application, a computing device failure, a software failure, or some other type of failure, which renders it impossible to manually roll back the instrumentation from a remote user interface. The failsafe mechanism can be provided using callbacks between the computing devices which detect when a connection is unexpectedly lost or closed. Termination of one callback can cascade to one or more other callbacks. The instrumentation rollback can involve reloading un-instrumented byte code of the application. | 11-17-2011 |
| 20120089966 | TWO PASS AUTOMATED APPLICATION INSTRUMENTATION - A two-pass technique for instrumenting an application is disclosed. One pass may be performed statically by analyzing the application and inserting probes while the application is not running. Another pass may be performed dynamically by analyzing data collected by the probes while the application runs to derive metrics for the probes. One or more metrics for each probe may be analyzed to determine whether to dynamically modify the probe. By dynamically modifying the probe, the application does not need to be shut down. Dynamically modifying the probe could include removing the probe from the application or moving the probe to another component (e.g., method) in the application, as examples. For example, the probe might be moved to a component that is either up or down the call graph from the component that the probe is presently in. | 04-12-2012 |
