Calculate Percentile Time-Series by Request Attribute Using Dynatrace DQL

MychellSantos1 — Wed, 17 Dec 2025 10:02:54 GMT

I have the following DQL query that calculates the p50 response time per service:

timeseries p50 = percentile(dt.service.request.response_time, 50, default:0), interval:10m, nonempty:true, by: { dt.request_attribute_Key }, filter: matchesValue(`dt.entity.service`, "x"), from: now()-1d, to: now() | fieldsAdd ServiceName = entityName(dt.entity.service)

Now I’d like to add a dimension based on a request attribute (for example request_attribute.Key or request_attribute.Type) — so I can see the percentile (p50) per service and per request attribute value.

Is it possible to define that kind of dimension in the timeseries clause, or do I need to expand the attribute first?
If so, what would be the correct DQL syntax?
