request attribute - Web request URL - regex - extract second part of URI

[Yosi_Neuman]

Hi guys,

What should be the right regex in order to extract the second part of the URI?

In the followed example we would like to get vh3

media\/([^\/?]*+) might work if you're only interested in that specific pattern. I was trying to test it but it seems to keep crashing my page.

For reference here's a good doc on regex in Dynatrace: https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/organize-monitored-entities/reference/how-do-i-use-regular-expressions-in-dynatrace/

Hi James,

Thanks for your answer

I read this page and tried few times different ways with no luck....

Your regex seem to invalid

[gilgi · Accepted solution]

post processing options allow for splitting the values, which will create an array of the different parts (assuming the delimiter is /). The question is how do I retrieve only the second element of that array

[michael_kopp]

the split actually puts multiple values on the request, so that is not what you want here.

instead of that remove the split ad do a regex that will go for the second part. this regex should do the trick, it jumps over part one and takes part two.

/[^/]++/([^/]++)
