Temporarly capture all servlet session data to pick the right attribute name for Request Attribute definition.

Hi

Sometimes you monitor Application with Dynatrace without knowing implementation details.

For instance, you know that somehow, the user name is in the Serlvet session but you don’t know the attribute name to get it.

With older AppMon it was possible to temporarily capture all Servlet session data, spot the session entry of interest and then specifically capture that one.

It would be nice to get the same way of inspecting the session (but the same applies to HTTP headers for instance) as it was possible to do it with AppMon. At the moment, Request attribute definition mandates that user attribute name be given (wildcards are not allowed).

Is it possible to do that in some way with Dynatrace ?

No, this is not possible, unfortunately. You can create an RFE for this functionality.

I believe this still possible to some degree by Dynatrace support engineers in Debug UI by turning on debug flags, but it's definitely not exposed to Dynatrace customers.
