Hi Gauri,

Yes you can. First you need to create a 'request attribute' , you can do this as 'global' or filtered to a specific application or component. More info here: Request attributes | Dynatrace Docs

* You can use this approach to make any field searchable within distributed trace.

As a request attribute, you can call out the 'Referer' which will be captured and then made searchable.

global capture example below.

Once in distributed traces, you can then search / filter using the following

- All matching instances

- specific instance

Enjoy
