How should work dashboard tile filtering by Request Attribute ?

[josef_solnicky]

I created Request Attribute tWatch which is marking requests coming from specific 3rd party tool (Synthetic). Idea was to filter dashboard tiles with key requests via this attribute.

In service view filtering works - but in dashboard tile/custom chart the filter doesn't have any effect - means chart is containing all requests.

@josef S. You wont be able to pin the multidimensional chart to the dashboard. You can place it in the diagnostic tools that is found on the left hand side of the navigation chart.

You can create a custom chart that filters off of service and then filter it down to the request attribute, but it might not allow you to get as granular as you have in the multidimensional chart.

Thank you Chad - but for custom chart the request attribute is not filtering down anything 😞

ahh okay, So I am on 198 as the latest version, Managed is 2 weeks behind SaaS in deployments. Wait until you update then give it a try and if not, then I would open up a support ticket because If i can do it at V.198 then you should as well on 198.

Hi,
looks - in 1.198.87 the tile filtering by request attributes works 🙂
Interesting ...

Hello Guys

Question, can we build the same chart but splitting by the request attributes?

Also, is there any way to count how much different request attributes we have?

Thanks.

I can answer your last question. Using API you can list all your Request Attributes and count them from there: https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/dynatrace-api/configuration-api/service-api/request-attribute...

Thank you

But I search for a way to do this from the UI and present in Dashboard.
