| 20110082927 | Processing and Presenting Multi-Dimensioned Transaction Tracking Data - An approach is provided that receives a set of tracking data from a monitored activity. The set of tracking data includes name-value pairs. The received set name-value pairs are compared with context masks. Each context mask include one or more name-filter pairs. One of the sets of context masks is selected in response to determining that the incoming name-value pairs matches the mask name-filter pairs of the selected context mask. Name-value pairs are selected based upon the selected context mask. The selected name-value pairs are then stored in an aggregate data store. If the received set of tracking data fails to match at least one of the name-filter pairs then the received set of tracking data is disregarded and none of the name-value pairs are stored in the aggregate data store. | 04-07-2011 |
