Business events capture:

For Business event capture we use specific fields from response/ request body
Want to check how this values are read from response / request body before saving data to grails
will this save the entire response / request body to grails?
will Dynatrace scans through the whole request / response body before it captures specific fields from response / request body

To clarify your question, are you asking about the payload for how these Business Events are captured?

If you're asking about generally, BizEvents are captured through a variety of ways (RUM, Log Files, OA ingestions, etc.). A good blog post on this can be documented here:

https://www.dynatrace.com/news/blog/the-value-of-business-events-how-it-can-increase-business-agilit....

In addition, the official documentation also states how it's ingested here:
https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/platform-modules/business-analytics/ba-events-capturing
It seems as though for external requests at the least, the payload is in the form of a JSON - in which this is read in through DT.

Will also add to this thread that there is a good example of how this data is extracted from the payload via the OneAgent:

Thanks.

Right , question was on payload data from business event capture. How does Dynatrace capture and read these values from payload after configuring Business event capture for these request / payloads? 

For example:

I have configured a business event capture rule for a field (field A) in payload. When business event captures this field using the business event capture :

will this save the entire response / request body to grails?
will Dynatrace scans through the whole request / response body before it captures specific fields from response / request body.

 

If you set it to save only the X key and value from a payload, will only save that. Setting it to save the full RQ/RS will save the full RQ/RS. Otherwise, the cost of saving the full RQ/RS should impact the business event capture. If you save Field A and later search for Field B, that info will not exist.
