Application definition

Hello,

Looking at the application definition, I assume detection based on url can include the domain? So I wonder why you can also use domain as a separate filter. (you could also use the domain in the url filter?)

Or is the domain extra feature that www. is added in front off the domain,

If you click on the more links in "Settings > Web and mobile monitoring > Application detection and RUM" and then look at the example after you click the "Create application detection rule" button you will see confirmation of your assumptions. See below for more details.

Hi Henk,

You are correct to assume that detection based on URL includes the domain. The reason that the domain is available as an additional option is that it can simplify the configuration of the application detection rules. There is a previous post that goes into pretty good detail on this topic.
