I'm trying to filter on AppDynamics to get all the request to a particular REST URL, the REST URL is not fixed as long as in the URL

/AppEngine/rest/evac/${id}/createNewActivity

On the Transaction Snapshots you have the option to filter results, and in the filters you can filter by URL:

Filters on AppDynamics

If I search for a concrete URL (with ${id} defined) I can search it, but I cannot find how to use a wildcar to find this URL with any ${id}. I tried so far to use

  • /AppEngine/rest/evac/*/createNewActivity
  • /AppEngine/rest/evac/.*/createNewActivity

With no results.

The one with works just a bit is using /AppEngine/rest/evac/* which also retrieves other REST which start with the same URL, so I can export the results and filter outside AppDynamics.

But there is a way to use a wildcard so I can find the desired results in AppDynamics?

  • Have you tried searching by a keyword "createNewActivity"? – wadjakman Mar 19 '15 at 07:37
  • Yes, in this case works (you can see in my own answer) but still wildcar could be useful for another searches. – alphamikevictor Mar 19 '15 at 07:48
  • I didn't noticed ;-). Have you tried SQL wildcards?. – wadjakman Mar 19 '15 at 08:56
  • @wadjakman Thanks for suggestion, it's still not working. Having in mind AppDynamics stores data in a Cassandra DB seems like it would be not possible: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18444567/cassandra-cql-wildcard-search http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/topic/support-for-wildcard-search-in-cassandra :( – alphamikevictor Mar 19 '15 at 09:14

Even it is not the desired behaviour, if filtering by URL and specifying only createNewActivity worked for me (as long as there are no other REST URLs matching this).
