View Web Service request values

mrc15816 — Mon, 20 Feb 2023 08:24:33 GMT

Hello,

I am new to Dynatrace Product. I need some guidance on how to see the values of a web service request.

The Web Service application is running on IBM HTTP server / Websphere, we can see all the methods, but when we tried to view the request values via purepath it stops at the method.

Troubleshooting an issue with a error is tough when you can't see the related data.

Dynatrace Managed Solution 1.136.143.xxxx with Dynatrace OneAgent 1.135.11.xxxx

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

MRC

Hey @Venkata C. can you post a screenshot of what area you're seeing this in/trying to get to?

Hello @Rocky O. I am not in a position to post a screenshot that you requested. Under Transaction and Services -> monitored web service -> Details -> PurePaths -> PurePath (Code Level)

I see methods that are used in the web services but not the pay load.

Thank you for looking into my request!

If I understand your question correctly, you need to capture method arguments for a method that is called in a PurePath.

Dynatrace does not capture arguments by default, but you can setup that. It is configured in Settings -> Server-side service monitoring -> Request attributes.

But you can capture only Text/Int/Double types.

Useful info is in this blog post: https://www.dynatrace.com/news/blog/request-attributes-java-method-argument-capture-is-now-supported/
