Applications and Performance Management (APM) products may be what you are looking for. Some examples would be nagios, Foglight, Big Brother, Solarwinds, New Relic, BMC, and probably a bunch more. An agent or instrumentation is installed on each system to "monitor" activity. End to end process tracing or "transaction" tracing has been the holy grail of APM for decades and very few companies can do it well because there isn't always an easy mapping between systems. Usually you will get partial info for specific transactions or you can only monitor a few transactions in real time due to the huge volume of data that would need to be collected for all transactions.

APM(1)                                                                                                                                      APM(1)

NAME

       apm - interface with the APM subsystem

SYNOPSIS

       apm [ -VvmMsSdin ]

DESCRIPTION

       This  command  requires  the Advanced Power Management subsystem.  If run without arguments it reads /proc/apm and presents the output in a
       human-readable format.

       Given a -S or -s option it requests that the machine be put into the APM standby or the APM  suspend  state,  respectively.   For  a  brief
       description of these states, see apmd(8).

OPTIONS

       -V, --version
              Print the version of the program and exit.

       -v, --verbose
              Also  print  version  information  for the APM subsystem.  The APM subsystem consists of power-management hardware, firmware usually
              referred to as the APM BIOS and a driver in the operating system kernel.

       -m, --minutes
              Print the time remaining as a number of minutes.  The default is to print the time remaining in "hours:minutes" format.

       -M, --monitor
              Continuously monitor and update the status information.  Assumes that the standard output is a terminal.

       -S, --standby
              Request that the machine be put into the APM standby state.

       -s, --suspend
              Request that the machine be put into the APM suspend state.

       -d, --debug
              Print APM status information in a format more useful for debugging.  Implies -v.
