Question by Karen M. · Mar 14, 2015 at 02:54 AM · plugins

Sending Custom data to Dynatrace

Hi Dynatrace team,

I have two questions 

1.I would like to know if there is a way to send some custom data to Dynatrace and show it somehow in the charts, e.g. user age.

2.I am wondering if there is any plugin available to grab screen size from requests and show them in a charst

Thanks

Karen Mnatsakanyan

Hi Karen

there are two way dynatrace can capture data: #1: along the PurePaths, eg.: method arguments, return values, HTTP Parameters, ... or #2: as a time series data point through our monitoring plugins. to your two questions

#1: I assume you talk about the User Age that uses your application. If thats the case I assume your application code itself somewhen calls a method that gets that age. You can define a custom sensor for that method and capture it. From that point on you will see the Age of the user on your PurePaths. TO chart it you can then create a Business Transaction that e.g: splits by Age so you can chart the number of people login in to your application. I recorded a YouTube tutorial on how to create custom sensors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9XL4MDyLlc&index=12&list=PLqt2rd0eew1bmDn54E2_M2uvbhm_WxY_6

#2: Screen size would be an additonal property to capture e.g: through our UEM Feature. Do you have UEM (=User Experience Management)? By default it is not captured but there are two options. a) enable Perceived Rendering Time in the UEM Settings in your System Profile or b) use our JavaScript ADK and JavaScript Ajax ADK and capture that data yourself by asking your developers to send that data to dynatrace as part of the captured UEM Data. Option a) is currently not chartable but will show up when analyzing purepath data. Option B could also be charted
