APM - An example of Java Agent URL groupings

Issue/Introduction
After enabling the agent I have noticed that the Frontends URLs are causing a metric explosion as below:
URLs
/portal/user/111111/java1.js
/portal/user/222222/java2.js
/portal/user/111111/img1.png
/portal/user/222222/img2.png
/portal/user/aaaaaaaaaa/app01
/portal/user/bbbbbbbbbb/app01/-/universe1/sales
/portal/user/ccccccccccc/app04/-/subspace1
/portal/user/dddddddddd/app04/-/subspace6/cat1
....
I would like to reconfigure frontend URL grouping as below:
a) All images (*.jpg, *.png, jpg) under a url group called /images
b) All JavaScript (*.js ) under a url group called /javascript
c) Normalize the User URLs so it only display the different methods in a format like /portal/*/app<#>/<method> and remove the sessionsID
d) All the rest URLs should go under the "Default" group
How to achieve this?
Environment
- DX APM
Resolution
1) Open the IntroscopeAgent profile
2) Update your frontends urlgroupings definitions as below:
introscope.agent.urlgroup.keys=javascript,png,jpg,groupuserdata,default
# javascript
introscope.agent.urlgroup.group.javascript.pathprefix=*.js
introscope.agent.urlgroup.group.javascript.format=/javascript
# images
introscope.agent.urlgroup.group.png.pathprefix=*.png
introscope.agent.urlgroup.group.png.format=/images
introscope.agent.urlgroup.group.jpg.pathprefix=*.jpg
introscope.agent.urlgroup.group.jpg.format=/images
# groupuserdata
introscope.agent.urlgroup.group.groupuserdata.pathprefix=/portal/user/
introscope.agent.urlgroup.group.groupuserdata.format=/portal/*/{path_delimited:/:11:14}
# all the rest
introscope.agent.urlgroup.group.default.pathprefix=*
introscope.agent.urlgroup.group.default.format=Default
3) Explanation of url definitions
- javascript group will include all *.js urls under a node “/javascript”
- png and jpg groups will include all *.png and *.jpg urls under a node “/images”
- groupuserdata group will include all urls that start with “/portal/user/” and report them in the format : “/portal/*/<method>”
{path_delimited:/:11:14} : the agent will split the urls as below for example:
0 = /
1 = portal
2 = /
3 = user
4 = /
5 = ID
6 = /
7 = app04
8 = /
9 = -
10 = /
11 = subspace6
12 = /
13 = cat1
4) Here is an example of the result after applying the changes:
URLs
/images
/javascripts
/portal/*/
/universe1/sales
/subspace1
/subspace6/cat1
