Geo location based on Lat/Long values

Wilson_JasonP — Thu, 27 Jan 2022 17:33:35 GMT

Hi Everyone,

We have a deployment where all Mobile devices are on a private network with private IP addresses. The application already creates a custom HTTP header that includes the device lat/long.

We are able to extract these values by using some custom "Request attributes" rules.

Is there anyway to them use these values to show location on the map's that are included?

Currently you can only specify a location for a spcific IP address or range in the settings:

You can open a Product Idea in the Dynatrace Product Idea forum though.

One idea that might help: Have your mobile app lookup the location based on Lat/Long. I'm assumgin there's some lookup function or WebService call which is available to perform this lookup, but Dyantrace does not provide it.

Once your App has the 'location' string, then report that to Dynatrace. Then you could explore extracting that data from an HTTP header (for example) and building a report based on this location data.

The important idea is to have your App do the transformation.
