What is x-dtreferer header and why it is blocked by WAF

Hi,

Anyone know what is dtreferer header, what is the use of this header. I just found the details on AppMon documentation what this is not enough.

https://www.dynatrace.com/support/doc/appmon/user-experience-management/user-experience-management-administration/firewall-constraints-for-uem/

Is this mandatory to allow? This is blocked by WAF at the moment, does anyone face this issue earlier , how do we resolve this?

@Babar Q. I saw you posted same issue on Appmon forum. Do you know how to resolve this?

Thanks

Suresh

I believe it is for the same purposes as with AppMon. Referer is one of the new general attributes that will be available soon in Dynatrace. It was announced on Perform in February. But it's just my guess.

Why this is blocked by WAF is the question for your WAF administrator.

Thanks Julius. I think it is already in available, however, documentation is not updated.

I will check with our WAF administrator and update.
