URL/Host/App/Server
report group
Discover provides four pre-defined dimensions to track contextual information about the activities of visitors to your web application.
These four dimensions are contained in the URL/Host/App/Server
report group
and are as follows:
- Dimension Name
- Description
URL
- Identifies the URL of the hit
Note: The URL for the root page of your web application is reported as the following:
/defaultpage
Host
- Identifies the host of your web application
App
- Identifies the application name
Server
- Identifies the name of the server hosting your application
On a large and busy website, the values that correspond to these items may rapidly overshadow the valid data of interest. For example, unique URLs may include a wide variety of query parameters. To ensure that the Discover reporting data are clear and concise, dimension values are restricted or normalized to a subset of the values observed by the Discover pipeline.
Note: These values are extracted in the pipeline from the capture stream by the Discover Reference session agent, which must be deployed in your pipeline to capture
these values. The Discover Reference session agent provides extra configuration
options, including the capture of user interface events on the client and user agent detection.
See "Discover Reference Session Agent" in the HCL Discover
Configuration Manual.
For more information about configuring pipelines, see "Manage Services Pipeline Editor" in the HCL Discover Administration Manual.
