Question by Mark M. · Mar 01, 2012 at 03:19 AM ·

Parameters and Attribute under Sensor Configuration for ASP.NET

I have added "Session Entries" under configure sensor properties/ Parameters and Attribute for ASP.NET.  I able to capture a portion of the data "People#####.XYZ.Security.Authentication" which I informed by the Dev team that after Security, we should be able to capture OrgId, LoggedInOrg, Name. What we are trying to do is capture more client information to assist our OPs team in troubleshooting issues. This also allows us  build business transaction reports which can broken down to client information.

I mention Cookies only because we done it before for the other application.  I am getting the session information, but I need to to know how to build a business transaction.  Using the information to gather session information like you had in your prior forum reply, I just wanted to build  a dashlet BT and then split by the session.

Re:  This is working at the configuration level

This should all be possible using the ASP.NET Attributes and the "Accessor" field. Here are the steps

a) You have to specify "Session Entries" in the Source field
b) You have to specify "Person" in the Attribute field
c) You have to sepcify "XYZ.Security.Authentication" in the accessor

If you want to learn more about Business Transactions I recommend the following additional resources

  • Watching dynaLearn Webinar Video on BTM (50min)

Thanks again Andreas, I was able to get the information from the session entry.

1. Quick Question,  now that I able to pull the information,  how do setup a business transaction filter get that information so I can create a Business Transaction that splits by the Session information?

I did it with the .NET Cookie information, but I don't seem to be getting that when trying setup with session attribute filter.

Hi Mark

Cookies are transferred using HTTP Headers. Therefore you have to capture the Http Header with the name Cookie. That will then allow you to use the Cookie based Measures.

Hope that helps

Hi Mark

This should all be possible using the ASP.NET Attributes and the "Accessor" field. Here are the steps

a) You have to specify "Session Entries" in the Source field
b) You have to specify "Person" in the Attribute field
c) You have to sepcify "XYZ.Security.Authentication" in the accessor

This should capture the value of Authentication on every request.
Keep in mind that using accessors is a great feature - but - also keep in mind that extra code needs to be executed by dynaTrace. In case accessing these properties such as Security or Authentication implement complex getter code this will be executed for every requests

Let me know if this answers your question
