Question by Chris B. · Jul 26, 2012 at 10:13 PM · business transaction

How Do I access Response Header to create a Business Transaction?

We are newly implementing DynaTrace in our production environment and we have a need to be able to access the Response Header to create a Measure, and then assign said Measure to a Business Transaction. Our app goes through an F5 Load Balancer and we have an X-server response header that provides us with which server the client is connected to from our cluster. In DynaTrace, we would like to create a Business Transaction in order to Group By Server. This will help us identify if one server is performing worse than another. I see a lot of benefit out of grouping in this fashion, but am having difficulty discovering how this can be implemented. Any and all help is appreciated.

Hi Chris,

You can easily capture the Response Header by changing the Sensor configuration of the Web server. The below image shows you how to configure the Sensor to capture the data.

The data is stored on the Web request node in the PurePath (see Screen below -image only contains request info but the response info would appear below) You can create a measure or BT by right clicking on the node.

Hope this is useful!

Klaus,

"Response Header" details should appear but they do not !

Tested with 4.2 on a Tomcat, JVM 1.6.

Could you show a screenshot that actually contains the expected data ?

Hi Laurent,

Can you please write "X-server" all letters in lowercase and check if you get the desired value. If you still do not get the value please put in the asterisks "*" so that you capture all the headers and then you can pick the right one from the details.

Klaus

hi Laurent,

do you have a webserver agent in place?
if you 'only' have a Java/.NET agent in place, this feature is just in development.

best,
Christian

Hi Christian,

I would like to know if this feature is now available (capture Response Header) when using only Jboss server (a java agent in place).

Thanks

Arnaud,

Response header is not available from the Java agent in 6.2, and it looks like it's not available at least in the early builds of 6.3.

Hi Graeme,

Do you know if the ability to capture response headers from Java agents was included in Dynatrace 6.3? I took a look through the documentation and release notes but did not see anything about it.

Thanks!

Sorry, Kasey, no. I just checked in the latest build (6.3.2.1101) and it's still not possible.

No you can have web server agent license without UEM.

Thanks Christian.

Indeed I was using Tomcat only.
When putting an Apache in front I can actually get the response header details.
