Collecting Query String Parameters

[CommunityUser]

It seems that there's no way to generically collect the query string parameters for a given http transaction snapshot.  Is there a reason for this?  I don't really want to spend time creating custom HttpCollectors for each of my transactions that have query string parameters.  It would be much easier if the default HttpCollector had an option to either just record everything after the ? in the url, or even better, parse out the individual parameters and store them separately.  Maybe there's a way to do this, and I'm just missing it.  Please let me know.

Hi,

We see aggressive seetings in Controller UI are disabled by default however you could just update default HTTP collector rule as below and you should see all query string HTTP parameters collected in snapshots for new load under "HTTP params" field in snapshot drilldown in UI.

Where we provided "HTTP parameter" column value as asterisk this helps to collect all http parameter for default HTTP collected which is by default associated to all BTs discovered.

Hope that information helps.

I didn't realize I had gotten a reply.  I received no email notification for the first reply, but just got one for this reply.  I just tried it.  This works better than I expected.  It contains cookies as well.  Is this documented somewhere?

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Mark,

The suggestion asterisk * wild card for HTTP parameter to collect all http parameters is not documented, regarding query on cookie you can refer doc link https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO39/Configure+Data+Collectors , yes if you provide cookie name we will collect cookie name value details as well as part of snapshot data as we do for http parameters.

Hope that answers your query.
