Observability use case in Jaeger: Deadlock
z/IRIS has improved its deadlock visibility support by leveraging span linking from OpenTelemetry. Span links provide a way to depict a causal relationship between two or more otherwise independent processes.
z/IRIS adds a span called Deadlock Participant to the applications calls that are affected by a deadlock. This span contains a direct link to the Db2 Deadlock trace and vice versa. Not only will all applications teams have visibility into the deadlock’s impact, they will also be able to analyze it’s frequency and identify the application behaviour that leads to deadlocks.
