Is it possible to export a single User Session with User Actions as a Json File?

peter_huber — Tue, 16 Jul 2019 12:56:14 GMT

Hi all

i would like to export a distinct user session as a Json File to see whether all necessary user actions are included or not.

Is there a way to do this easily?

Cheers

Peter

Hello Peter,

I know that we can feed all user sessions to an HTTP endpoint as JSON but I don't think it is possible to export a single user session as JSON. If you go to the User Session section in the UI, the details are very in depth so you should be able to determine if a user or a specific session has the correct number of user actions there. Another option is to use the User Session Query to pull the user sessions for a certain application that have a certain number of user actions or above (>=).

Check out the user session query here: https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/how-to-use-dynatrace/real-user-monitoring/how-to-use-real-user-monitoring/cross-application-user-session-analytics/custom-queries-segmentation-and-aggregation-of-session-data/

Thanks,

David Nicholls

Yes there is a way, use USQL (either via api or GUI - in User Sessions page):

SELECT useraction.name, JSON FROM usersession WHERE userSessionId IN ("session_id")

Where session_id is id of your session.

You can get session_id value from url - it's last numeric string behing "x" sign.

F.e. if url contains "sessionId=1563360038168x1563360083537x192889524", then session_id should be "192889524".

Or you can check session_id by USQL when you know other parameters like session start time and user id.
