request attributes for Node.js

[Seba-Gadrid]

What are the alternatives to request attributes for Node.js?
In the header they use a JSON Web Token, from which I could extract information after decoding it. Will this be possible with attributes?

Hi @Seba-Gadrid ,

It is possible to set request attributes using HTTP headers. here is information from the document.
https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/request-attributes-web-requests#request-attribute-sources-... 

Technology-independent sources, such as:

• HTTP POST parameters
• Client IP addresses
  The value of the first matching header is reported.
• HTTP request and response headers
• Web request URL or one of its constituents, like the path or a query parameter

In the last two cases, you can also choose the side of the web request on which to capture and store the attribute.

Hello @RohitBisht 

The information I need comes in a bearer token, will it be possible to extract it from there?

Ideally we should be able to capture as request headers are supported. Best is to test it out.
