How to check for http request params in Distributed Tracing app

[Hillman]

Hi all,

In the old Distributed Traces app, we can easily check and search for a particular http request params

However, in the new Distributed Tracing App, it no longer display the information:

How can for check and filter the information in the new Distributed Tracing app?

@Hillman for URL query, you just use Url query params, like this. For http requests, for headers use just headers params like this. Headers must be captured for, do not expect all headers to be captured automatically, just a set of standard headers are captured with OneAgent, others have to be captured using Request attributes or OpenTelemetry.

It is also important to note that the query parameters belong to a field that is considered sensitive. So there are also permissions differences in how this handled between classic and new. These sensitive fields belong to what are called "fieldSets" which allow administrators control over access to specific fields.

For how fieldsets work you can view this doc https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/assign-bucket-table-permissions#grail-permissions-fields

For a list of sensitive span fields you can find them in the semantic dictionary here Sensitive spans fields — Dynatrace Docs
