Hi Islam,

As far as I know it's necessary instrument Mobile app to discover API and requests:

https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/observe/digital-experience/mobile-applications/analyze-and-use/analyze-web-requests-mobile

For a Managed environment you'll have to install a cluster AG (https://docs.dynatrace.com/managed/shortlink/public-managed-sgw ,

https://docs.dynatrace.com/managed/shortlink/activegate-requirements-linux#hardware-requirements,

https://docs.dynatrace.com/managed/shortlink/activegate-requirements-linux#space-requirements,

https://docs.dynatrace.com/managed/shortlink/managed-deployment-scenarios#scenario-2-pure-dynatrace-managed-setup) and instrument your application:

and create the new mobile application it in Dynatrace tenant.

Hope it helps.

Regards,

Elena.

Hello @IslamEsmail ,

make sure that x-dynatrace header is included in all outbound requests from the mobile itself. you can check it using Logcat https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/logcat from android studio to catch it. also make sure that dynatrace tenant is allowed and not trimming the x-dynatrace header.

Thanks,
Mostafa Hussein.
