I have users requesting to see services filtered on specific http request parameter values; (Sort of like “splitting” in an AppMon BT.  
I’d like to either Tag based on the value of an HTTP Param, or at least segregate them in a dashboard. -- I do see the top attributes section in Services, but I’d like to conditionally act based on the value (or a regex!) - Am I overlooking a current capability?

Thanks guys! These are in use by our team today.  
Maybe to articulate a bit better:  
I have external partners, and transactions unique to each of their environments can be identified by the value of a specific param, so I’d like to exclude data in a chart or service view so that one team doesn’t view the other teams data.  
I’d like to do this (exclude data) from the start.  
Thanks Again!  
-Tom

[Calculated metrics for Services — Dynatrace Docs](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/shortlink/calculated-service-metric)&nbsp;=\> this is how you get your requests, filtered by the request attribute you desire, onto the dashboard as a metric that you can query using the data explorer and finally pin it.
