Simple question about the effect of request sampling

henk_stobbe — Fri, 30 Jan 2026 08:58:52 GMT

Hello all,

Seen somewhere else: this web request is never to be sampled.

So is there a way in Dynatrace to make sure that a certain request is never "dropped"?

If not, the consequence will be that counting the number of a certain attribute, or adding the values of a certain attribute can be influenced by sampling?

Who can shine some light on this?

Hi,

Not sure about your requirements, but best way to be sure some data is not being sampled is using business events.

Best regards

Hello Anton,

If you mean "is being" and not "is not being", I can accept solution!
