Sieve: Attention-based Sampling of End-to-End Trace Data in Distributed Microservice Systems

End-to-end tracing plays an important role in understanding and monitoring distributed microservice systems. The trace data are valuable to help find out the anomalous or erroneous behavior of the system. However, the volume of trace data is huge leading to a heavy burden on analyzing and storing them. To reduce the volume of trace data, the sampling technique is widely adopted. However, existing ...
