Runtime monitoring and analysis of applications without modifying code
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12001564B2) outlines a method for monitoring the execution of an application in a runtime engine using an agent. The method involves loading the agent into the runtime engine, determining the language of the engine, identifying target functions of the API based on the language, associating target functions with analysis code units, detecting events corresponding to the invocation of target functions, and executing the associated analysis code units. The agent evaluates data and metadata of events, detects vulnerabilities in the application, and can determine the version number of the language to refine the analysis process.
Furthermore, the patent describes the use of non-transitory machine-readable media and an apparatus with program code for monitoring application execution. The program code loads the agent into the runtime engine, determines target functions, associates them with analysis code units, and executes the code units based on events. The apparatus includes a processor and machine-readable medium with program code for these functions. The agent can evaluate events, determine language version, and associate target functions with analysis code units using callback functions or event handlers. This innovative method enhances the monitoring and analysis capabilities of applications running in a runtime engine, providing valuable insights for developers and users alike.
