Performance Tracking of Specific Web Requests
Hi,
New to the dynatrace tool. I want to create a dashboard that allows me to look at specific web requests of, let's say for now, three specific URIs. I started with the web request dashlet, and from there I can edit to filter on a specific URI. But I want to filter multiple specific URIs, and I am unsure how to do this.
After this, I want to then be able to track the reponse time of these URIs and measure them over a significant period of time. I want to graph this, so I believe I need to create a measure, but I am not sure how to go about this process of these specific URIs.
Thanks!
Adding to the answer from Thomas.
If you only have a small number of URLs - you said you have three - then you can also look into creating a simply Web Request Response Time Measure - one for each URL. The easiest is to open your Web Request Dashlet - located your URLs and via the context menu select "Create Measure". Then select the Web Request Response Time Measure - give the measure a good name and off you go. Repeat that for every URL. Now you can create a dashboard and add these measures
The advantage of a BT as Thomas explained though is that additonally to the Response Time you also get failure rate + you can put the BT on our App Monitoring Dashboard to get automatic baselining as well

I have done this step, and I have been able to chart the measures.
However, I want to track the URLs to a specific run, not every time they are hit. What I did was create a measure very similar to the one I have and the one you mentioned, but I added tagging for the header. Essentially, I only want to track the times I hit the URL with the specified header. If I filter the web request dashlet for this header, I can see only the times those urls get hit with the header. But my measures are not capturing them.
Here is an image of the measure I am using to try and capture when the URL is hit with a tagged header:
Hi Keith,
If you want to track specific URIs it will likely be best to create a Business Transaction (Linked documentation is for version 6.1). A Business Transaction will allow you to filter out certain types of PurePaths (i.e. certain transactions that match a specific URI, or a group of URIs). You can then create a dashboard that is displays the information obtained from the Business Transaction.
To create the filter for the Business Transaction, you'll have to create a new measure. The measure you'll likely need to add/configure is called "Web Requests - URI Pattern Value."
Let me know if you have any other questions!
Alright. In that case I suggest you create a Business Transaction that uses this "Tagged Header Measure" as a filter. Make sure to change the Evaluation drop down to Occurence. Then this measure will either return 0 (=tag is not on the PurePath) or 1 (=tag is on that PurePath). That should do the trick.
