Filter or search using Target IP field

mbrunell — Fri, 26 Mar 2021 15:29:58 GMT

Hi everyone,

The Client-side metadata from the purepath details window display client related information and in this case here, I am interested by the target IP. I'd like to filter or split the requests based on the target IP value. This value differs depending of where the VIP assigned the packet to...

Is there a way that this value could be captured using a request attribute let's say?

Please note that OneAgent is not installed on the target server and there is not plan for us to do so...

Thanks!

Hello @mbrunell

The PurePath data will not be available without installing the OneAgent and the requested attribute data required Server-side monitoring.

Regards,

Babar

If you are monitoring the service that is making this request then you should be able to make a request attribute based on the client's IP address, whether or not the other side is monitored. If neither the server nor client is monitored this is not possible.
If that attribute does not yield the results you want and you are passing the IP address somewhere around in the code (ex: Java parameter or return value), then you may be able to extract that value with a request attribute.
