Session Naming based upon Header Tag extraction

asauvanet — Mon, 23 Apr 2018 15:34:53 GMT

The monitored web application contains a Header TAG named Location containing a string. Is it possible to extract via Regex a substring of this TAG in order to name dynatrace sessions and avoid anonymous ?

The TAG is returned from the login page and contains information such as :
Location:

_trust/default.aspx?trust=MONAPPLI&ReturnUrl=%2f_layouts%2f15%2fAuthenticate.aspx%3fSource%3d%252FUser%2520Photos%252FProfile%2520Pictures%252FCCCCDDD%255FLThumb%252Ejpg&Source=%2FUser Photos%2FProfile Pictures%2FBBBBAAA_LThumb.jpg%3Ft

The extracted value is the one between Pictures%2F and _LThumb. e.g. BBBBAAAA

Thank you Alexander. I understand I have to try to find out solution with CSS Selector if possible for te moment. I don't have yet access to application (no credential) and therefore cannot use Chrome development tools.
