description	Analyze runtime observability data (distributed traces, structured logs, APM metrics) to generate runtime behavior documentation. Use when producing P1-13 runtime-behavior artifacts or P2-13 system runtime profiles. Covers OpenTelemetry, Jaeger, Zipkin, Application Insights, Datadog, New Relic trace analysis, structured log extraction, and APM metrics interpretation.

Runtime Analysis

Analyze runtime observability data — distributed traces, structured logs, and APM metrics — to produce runtime behavior documentation for individual services (P1-13) and system-wide profiles (P2-13).

When to Use

• Generating P1-13 Runtime Behavior Profile for a service
• Generating P2-13 System Runtime Profile across all services
• Validating P1-4 dependency declarations against observed runtime behavior
• Identifying undocumented dependencies, dead code paths, or real bottlenecks

Data Source Requirements

Data Type	Purpose	Common Tools
Distributed traces	Service call graphs, latency, hot paths	OpenTelemetry, Jaeger, Zipkin, Application Insights, Datadog APM, New Relic
Structured logs	Error patterns, anomalies, undocumented behaviors	ELK Stack, Splunk, Azure Monitor Logs, CloudWatch Logs
APM metrics	Resource utilization, SLI baselines, throughput	Application Insights, Datadog, New Relic, Prometheus + Grafana

Procedure

For P1-13 (Single Service)
