We use dynaTrace 5.0 to monitor internal Sharepoint applications. We would like to report back usage by department. Department information is stored within user sharepoint profiles but so far I've been unable to detect it from the session data. We tried configuring the ASP .Net sensor to include all session entries and all server variables but nothing there is what we want.
Any suggestions how to go about this?
We're using II7.
We're using the sharepoint fastpack.
Thanks!

Hi
I am not familiar with these internals of SharePoint - but - I assume that the Department information is something that can be retrieved by placing custom sensors on some of the internal SharePoint methods.
I would do the following
a) Open your System Profile
b) Go to Sensors -> open the Class Browser
c) Select your SharePoint Agent Group and click the refresh button
d) now I would search for things like "Department" - or - User Profile
e) If you find methods that either get the department name as a method argument or as return value I would define a custom sensor for it and make sure to capture these values
