Dynatrace Request Attribute

[vigneshkrishnan]

Hi Team, 

we have 1700 stores using a web application in Azure using Azure App services where we have Dynatrace One Agent running and we also have Request attribute to see how many stores used that particular web URL. The problem is it is showing only the Top 100 stores when accessing request attribute, how do we get all the stores under the Request attribute. 

Can you please help us in resolving this issue,

Hi,
The “Top contributors” list in the request-attribute view only shows top-N (typically 100–110) and skips rare values — that’s exactly what you see in the note under the list. To see all stores do Multidimensional analysis (MDA):

Go to the service → Analyze → Multidimensional analysis.

Metric: e.g., Request count or Response time.

Split by: Request attribute → your attribute (e.g., site.id).
Then you can turn this into a Calculated service metric.

Thank you for the response, I will check and let you know. I have another question with the 1700 stores,  we always have a problem to not to know how many stores are actually using the application and making a transaction, I would like visualize in Geographical Map, do you know how to achieve this.

Hi. it depends 😉
If you’re on SaaS, it’s possible. If your store ID (site.id) doesn’t directly contain location, create a small lookup table that maps each store to coordinates. For example, create a reference dataset (CSV) like:

siteId,lat,lon,city,country
2000458,40.7128,-74.0060,New York,US… for all ~1700 stores.

On a dashboard (or in a Notebook), choose the Map visualization and use the lookup-data.
If you’re on Managed, I’m not sure how to achieve the same result.

Thank you again. Ours is PAAS services mostly Azure App Services where one agent is running. so the lookup is still a option to visualize in geo map for stores accessing the application successfully?

Also what is Managed? how do we determine ours is managed or not? please

Dynatrace SaaS = Dynatrace runs and hosts the cluster for you (typical URL like ...live.dynatrace.com, features like Notebooks/Map/Reference data available).

Dynatrace Managed = You host the Dynatrace cluster on-prem or in your cloud. There’s a Cluster Management Console (CMC) and a custom domain.
Look at the URL and the account “About” page:

If you see “Dynatrace Managed” or have access to CMC, you’re Managed.

If your environment lives under *.dynatrace.com (e.g., ...live.dynatrace.com) and there’s no CMC, you’re SaaS.


Yes — even on Azure App Services (PaaS) with OneAgent, the lookup approach works to visualize stores on a Geo Map. You just need a reference dataset (store → lat/lon) or to send events/metrics that already carry location fields.

ahh got it, our is Dynatrace SAAS only. We access with the same URL which you have mentioned.

Hi , 

have checked in Muitl Dimesional analysis still I get only Top 100 dimensions, attaching the screenshot for your references and also in the 100 most of them dont have request count

Am a user of Dynatrace for last five years but new to configuration, DQL, creating dashboards and am learning, how to use bubble map to tag request attribute stores location in a dashboard? pls

@vigneshkrishnan  there are multiple ways of doing it:

• create a metric from span data (counter or what you need to show), based on the spans in OpenPipeline or in classic calculated service metric. Use this metric on a dashboard.
• query spans directly (if your environment is DPS) for the spans you are interested in which contain the request attribute - this approach has a cost associated with the span queries.
