Auto instrumentation for Native aplications contains straming & Monitoring Native Mobile aplications that talks with TCP protocol to server side

Hi,

I have 2 diffetent native mobile aplications to be monitored.

First one has  lots of video and  pictures on it.

My questions are

Can dt provides the metrics that it provides for streaming for webb aplications ? 

Auto instrumantation works for streaming content inside native mobile app ?

What dt can provide for this kind of native app ?

Second one is talking to tcp with server side ( it is a kind of whatsupp ) 

My questions are

Is it possible to monitor this native app with using mobile adk and how ? is it possble to tag the request that talks to tcp with server side ?

Any solution for this kind of mobile native app ?

Regards,

Savas

Hi Savas,

what kind of streaming are you using? if it is HLS you can simply time and tag them like any other HTTP request. But you should think about doing that twice - there will be an immense load of HTTP requests (one for every 10sec chunk) which is very likely to flood your dynatrace server. I would suggest you use manual instrumentation to extract the details you are interested in and send a summary back manually.

If the protocol is not HTTP it will be hard to tag the network requests - you would definitely need to transport the tag manually through your socket connection and I'm not sure if the Java tagging ADK on the server side will actually let you resolve a link of a PurePath to append it to an action.

Hi Dominik,

Fist,

I assume auto instrumentation also works for streaming for supported tech like HLS. Currently I dont know what costumer use for streaming.

I have just auto instrumented the aplication and will test the output after ins. 

Second,

I am trying to instrument native mobile app ( android and IOS ) than I use Mobile ADK.

What i undersand from your answer  is " I need to instrument/tag manually  the request with using

Mobile ADK in client side and get this request with Java tagging ADK on server side"  

I alsu assume tagging will als work TCP protocol.

please correct me if I am wrong

Thanks and regards,

Savas

yes that sounds right - please avoid auto instrumenting the HLS web requests - this will lead to enormously large visits with very little actual information.
