My company has a Dynatrace poc running in our test environment. I have recorded some business flows using web performance test. As part of the recording, it has captured calls to "http://<serverName>/dynatrace/js/dynaTraceMonitor"
My questions are
1. Are the calls to the mentioned resource required? 2. What do that calls do? 3. May I reduce the think time for those calls to say 1 or 2 seconds and what is the impact of doing so, if any? Thank you for the help, Sainath

Hi
DynaTraceMonitor is the "hidden" URL we use to send back information from our JavaScript agent which is executed inside each browser session (AKA UEM). This is how we send the data to dynatrace which is converted into visits and user actions under the user experience section.
I would remove these calls from your performance test script if you use tools like Jmeter, loadrunner, neoload etc...

Thank you for the quick reply. Did you mean remove these calls or not remove? I think when I once removed them I did not see anything captured within DynaTrace. The other question I had was is it ok to reduce the recorded think time for the Dynatrace calls?
I would remove the calls to dynaTraceMonitor so no need for a think time.
If you take the calls out, you should still see purepaths but nothing under user experience (no visits, no user actions).
Thank you again! I works as you said and I am getting the info that I need via purepath.
