How to export user session data?

Hi All,

Greetings of the day.

I would like to know how to export user session data from Dynatrace. Is there any Dynatrace API to retrieve user session data like as problem notification. I have verified Dynatrace document and did not find relevant information. Please advise?

Hey Koteswar,
There are 2 main ways of exporting the data. The first is using this API User sessions API | Dynatrace Docs which allows you to run USQL queries through an API.
The second method is Configure user session export | Dynatrace Docs which allows for sessions to be streamed to another platform or storage location for long term storage or more complex analysis.
As far as I know there is no way to trigger exporting that information when a problem or some other event occurs within Dynatrace. You could consider using external tools to run queries when custom problems are created.
Hope this helps
