excluding Web request without referer

When I click on web request and look at details , I see that dynaTrace is able to capture the referer for the transactions. I need to add this condition as a filter to remove the transactions for my above BT which dont have a referer

Hi. Can anyone help me with the above query?

Hi.

This should be possible using a Web Request Header Measure and checking whether the value contains/or does not contain a certain value. In your case you want to check for the non-existence of the Referer header. I haven't tested this but I think this should be the measure definition that should work. The measure should return the value 1 in case there is no occurence of a referer value

Hi Andreas,

I have created the measure as suggested above and then included it as a filter condition in the BT. My BT does not return any values .

Also , can you let me know what does " .*" value indicate in the example. 

Hi,

Please consider whichever of the following you are trying to do:

1. Capture only requests which do have a referer header.  Use the following as a filter: 
2. Capture only requests which do not contain a referer header.  Use the following as a filter (same thing but with different threshold): 

Also note that if your scenario is 1 (that you want the requests to have referer headers) AND that the referers are significant data AND that there are a finite number of referers (this is important to prevent your BTs from having too many splittings) you can simply use the below measure as a splitting, which will make sure only requests which have headers get evaluated but also group your requests by which referer they had.  

I have tried all three locally this morning and they work well.
