Browser agent activation removes dtTimerName from query string
Hi,
A customer is using Selenium 2.46 with FireFox 33.1 and Dynatrace Browser agent 6.10.8305.
They Decided to specify timers by setting dtTimerName in the query string in their scripts.
The script runs fine with the query string parameters added if the agent is not enabled.
As soon as they set the environment variables (DT_AGENTACTIVE, DT_AGENTNAME and DT_SERVER), the agent launches but now the query string parameters are no longer set.
In the profile I have disabled auto timers.
Any hints on this?
Thanks!
KR, Kristof
The Browser Agent is doing to take that Query Parameter off as this is a parameter that is just interesting for our Browser Agent to TAG the data collected. It is a parameter that doesnt make sense for the app -> it may even break the app if the parameter is there. Thats the reason why we take the parameter off -> on purpose!
You can verify that it worked by looking at the Browser Performance Report and switch to "Timer Names" view. You should see the timers there.
I just did this last monday with a user who used FF30. We put dtTimerName on the URL and it all worked as expected
