Assistance with Application Naming

What we see a lot is that these requests do not come in on your typical domainname, e.g: billmelater.com/robots.txt but rather on e.g.: the IP Address. Thats why your current appname mapping might not work.
In order to find out what the exact URL is that is used for these requests Drill to the PurePath and check out the Details on the Entry Point Node in the PurePath Tree. there you will see the exact hostname and URL that was used.

Another thought on this: if you are not interested in requests like index.html or robots.txt you can also exclude these URLs from starting a PurePath. In your Web Server and Servlet Sensor you can exclude certain URI patterns. Unless you are interested in how many of these requests actually come in I suggest to exclude them. This will also limit the number of PurePaths recorded which you are not interested anyway

Thanks Andi, I will dig into the PurePath.

You are correct that robots.txt we are not very concerned with. But the main index page we are and we want to be mapped to the correct application.

So if I am reading this correctly, using the below as an example, I should be able to map this page by doing a pattern of

contains: *www.billmelater.com/index.xhtml

Does that seem correct?

So I'm still not having luck with this. Below is a concrete example.

I have this application mapping setup:

and this page still shows up under Default Application.

Can you please point out what I am doing wrong? I know it is something silly I must be missing with this one.

Cool, created ticket 00681861 since I'm not comfortable loading the purepath here. Thanks for the assistance. Once I figure out the problem, I will double back with the answer here for other people to see in case they have similar problems.
