inspectIT-ocelot Sharing context between subsequent calls to same method in same execution flow

[vijay...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I have an instrumentation need, where in same method is being called twice as part of execution. I would like to retain some data between these calls for my metric computation.

Let me give a pseudo code for example.

public void doSomeActivity(){

        //some initilization code here.

       //first callto setStatus method.

      setStatus("STARTED");

   

    //do some more business logic process, heavy lifting work.

     //second call to setStatus method.

      

      setStatus("COMPLETE");

   //some more light steps here.

}

I'm trying to instrument "setStatus()" method, trying to push some data to inspectIt-context upon first call and try to retrive it when method is called for second time as part of same execution.

the instrumentation data element is set for both up-propagation & down-propagation (JVM_LOCAL) with is-tag = false.

But I can see that, inspectIT fails to propagate value set during first call of setStatus method to subsequent call of same method as part of same execution cycle.

Is there a way I can achieve this with in current inspectIT ocelot framework using yaml files it self? Any pointers is highly appreciated.

PS: The new framework of inspectit-ocelot is way better and much more flexible comparared to earlier library. Thank you very much for this great instrumentation technique.
