Proxy injection method using port 8070
Hi ,
I am using dynatrace 6.1 and trying to monitor the performance of one website. after starting all the componenets using "proxy injection" option
in easytravel configuration UI when it opens the web browser, I am trying to open the URL. but I am not able to open it using LAN settins as proxy
as"localhost" and 8070 port.
its starnge that I am able to open some website through same browser and some not. can you please let me know what can be the issue?
Thanks,
Rachana
one more thing need to add here is i am able to open http site and not https. so can anyone please provide the solution to capture https transactions?
Hi Rachel
EasyTravels Proxy Injection Mode will launch an Apache configured as Reverse Proxy. I think that Apache is only configured to process HTTP requests - HTTPS is not supported in the moment. Remember - easytravel is a sample application and can of course be used for some demo use cases such as using the Proxy Injection. But - not all use cases are supported. I am not an expert on HTTPS Proxies but I would assume that the proxy would actually need a special SSL Certificate. We are not delivering that with easyTravel.
If you want to do HTTPS through Proxy Injection I suggest you try to setup your own Apache and configure it to proxy HTTP&HTTPS calls - talk with your IT folks and figure out how that would work - especially how to configure Apache with the correct SSL certificate. Once you have that you can inject the dynaTrace Web Serer Agent into that Apache and you should be all set.

Thanks andi for the quick response and solution!
I will check with my IT team and try to configure the same.
one more thing I wanted to know is that is there any other method to capture https transaction of any website other than "proxy injection"?
please let me know if any .

Well. Sure there is. If you have a website that you want to monitor with dynatrace you simply install the dynatrace agent on that web server. EasyTravel is just a demo application. In "REAL LIFE" you would install the dynatrace agents on your deployed application and web servers. Then you get to see ALL traffic (HTTP & HTTPS)
