Hello,   I have an issue with I can’t get requests which are toward to graphql. It simply shows only [https://example.com/graphql](https://example.com/graphql)   and when you click on the link you can find the request inside like [https://example.com/graphql/18293/product](https://example.com/graphql) How to clean up the rule in a way to show all requests instead of only graphql? Thanks. ---

Hi [@Zimmer](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/53077) , I know your pain.. can you tell which technologies and libraries we use. We have a customer running graphql in java and using the expediagroup library. We’ve managed to find a method that returns the operation name of the query. It was on the com.expediagroup.graphql.client.types.GraphQLClientRequest class and the method was getOperationName. Ince we’ve had it we changed thebrequest names based on the values. Hope this helps. ---

We’re using [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) Core 😞 still no luck with the solution.. sigh. ---

Hi [@gilgi](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/12008) we are using kickstart GraphQL for our springboot api ([GitHub - graphql-java-kickstart/graphql-spring-boot: GraphQL and GraphiQL Spring Framework Boot Starters - ■■■■■■ from oembedler/graphql-spring-boot due to inactivity. · GitHub](https://github.com/graphql-java-kickstart/graphql-spring-boot)) . Is there any way we can get the operation names (query and mutation names ) ? Thanks ---

If you will find the solution, please share it with the community also.  Thanks 🙂 ---

It seems like if you look at [https://github.com/graphql-java-kickstart/graphql-spring-boot/blob/master/graphql-kickstart-spring-webflux/src/main/java/graphql/kickstart/spring/webflux/GraphQLController.java,](https://github.com/graphql-java-kickstart/graphql-spring-boot/blob/master/graphql-kickstart-spring-webflux/src/main/java/graphql/kickstart/spring/webflux/GraphQLController.java) you’ll see that you can actuallyu create a request attribute on graphql.kickstart.spring.webflux.GraphQLController.executeRequest and capture the first two parameters. The first one is the query and the second one is the operation name. once you do that you can also rename your requests based on either values. On another note, We found out that at least in the expedia version, the network protocol used in the http commands was gql. Once replaced by http or https (as this is an open source packaged), Dynatrace supported this out of the box. One last thing: in the link you’ve sent I’ve seen that it is using Apolo Server. I’ve seen posts that describe OpenTelemtry support for Apolo Server. This could alos be a viable solution as the OneAgent automatically can collect OpenTelemtry data. Hope I’ve managed to help. ---

[@Zimmer](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/53077) it works for me.

I still don’t understand how to get values from the payload in the header there is only [https://example.com:8443/graphql](https://example.com:8443/graphql) request but in the payload, there is information that I want to catch with dynatrace like this : ```markup {"variables":{"from":"CAD","to":"USD"},"query":"query ($from: String, $to: String) {\n currencyRates(from: $from, to: $to) {\n currency\n buyRate\n currencyId\n nBGRate\n sellRate\n}\n}\n"} ``` Still, no luck, can’t get it from the backend (.NET) or from the frontend which is based on Angular 9. ---

[@Zimmer](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/53077) as you cannot parse the payload itself, you must get the values from the server side. Whice graphql library are you using? ---

We are using .NET library GraphQL v 4.2.0  have you had any experience with that? I appreciate your support. ---

Looking at the source code in [Git](https://github.com/graphql-dotnet/graphql-dotnet/blob/master/src/GraphQL/Execution/IExecutionContext.cs) (hopefully this is the right one), I would try to create 2 request attributes: 1. On GraphQL.Execution.IExecutionContext.Operation (which is the operation Name) 2. On GraphQL.Execution.IExecutionContext.Document (Which is the request itself) Hope this helps. ---

Could you guide me or share your experience regarding the Frontend side? How do I catch the values which are in payload for further manipulation?  Frontend application is written on AngularJS thanks ---

Hi, There is no way to capture the payload from the client side without writing your own js code to capture the interesting data and then utilize the Dynatrace JS sdk to send it back. What I would try to look for is to find out where the paylaod is being constructed on the server side and then define a request attribute. On the application definition pages you could then create user action property to gather value from this request attribute. ---

Hi gilgi, Yeah, that’s exactly what we did and it worked fine. We’re continuing testing let’s see what we can get more from it. Thank you for your suggestions and help​🤙
