The Dynatrace AppMon plug-in is installed with
Silk Performer and disabled by default. To work with this plugin you need Dynatrace AppMon Client to be installed on the controller machine.
If enabled, the plug-in modifies profile settings so that the runtime sends an additional HTTP header with each page request.
This HTTP header contains load test specific data which is thus made available to Dynatrace AppMon. The Dynatrace AppMon plug-in
also integrates with
TrueLog Explorer: For the selected node in the TrueLog, the plug-in tab in the lower right window allows direct access to the corresponding
PurePath in Dynatrace.
Note: The additional HTTP header is only added during protocol-level testing and browser-driven testing using
Internet Explorer.
To configure the plugin:
- In the
Silk Performer menu, click
.
- Click
Dynatrace AppMon.
- Check
Enable plug-in.
- Click the
Attributes tab and configure
Name/Value pairs as desired.
- The Dynatrace AppMon plugin requires the correct port to be configured to be able to communicate with the AppMon client. In
addition, the system profile value must match the Dynatrace AppMon profile you want
Silk Performer to work with.
- The tagging header name is expected to be
x-dynatrace. Use
dynatrace as header name only for very early versions of Dynatrace Diagnostics. For more details refer to the Dynatrace AppMon documentation.
- In the
Tag Selection section you can choose the tags you want virtual users to send as part of the additional HTTP header with each request.
