Dynatrace masks URL parameters with “\*\*\*\*\*” for users who do not have the View sensitive request data permission (mask at display) , but for the URI text, masking is only possible at the capture and storage level (we already tested both and they work fine), causing the data to be masked for all users, preventing us from controlling who can see the information.

This is already done in spans, in the exceptions section:

We are in Latest SaaS Dynatrace - 1.303.42

Could someone tell me if there is a plan in the roadmap to implement this functionality? Or if there is a functional limit that does not allow it to be implemented?

Thanks in advance

One of my collagues requested the same as an RFE before, feel free to give kudos ;).

It can indeed be a GDPR “hazard”.

The status of the idea is “planned”, but for a year already. I would also love to receive an update on it.

Great, I’ll see there.

Thanks
