When implementing BRUM (via HTML/JS code injection into the code of an application) we can set configuration options for the apiKey, spa2, etc.
However if there is a need to pass in additional meta data, that could be retrieved when running a query:
SELECT * FROM browser_records
It isn't super clear from these docs ( https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO21/Add+Custom+User+Data+to+a+Page+Browser+Snapshot ) what the correct data structure is:
PS There are also a bunch of missing closing parens ")" in the "Conventional Ajax Requests" sample code.
I think I've correctly understood that when sending data back, it needs to be organized into these buckets depending on the datatype we are trying to pass back in. Here's the updated code sample with the correct parens, and comments for each data "bucket".
<script type="text/javascript" charset="UTF-8">
window['adrum-config'] = {
xhr: {
payloadParams: [{method: 'POST'}]
},
userEventInfo: {
"Ajax" : function(context){
if(context.data && context.data.indexOf("purchase") > -1){
// The URLSearchParams API does not work on IE/Edge
var payload = new URLSearchParams(context.data);
return {
userData: {
//String properties
username: payload.get("username"),
email: payload.get("email"),
phone: payload.get("phone")
},
userDataLong: {
//Long properties
customerId: Number(payload.get("customer_id")),
totalPurchases: Number(payload.get("total_purchases"))
},
userDataDouble: {
//Double properties
purchaseTotal: Number(payload.get("total"))
},
userDataBoolean: {
//Boolean properties
discounted: Boolean(payload.get("discounted")),
vipMember: Boolean(payload.get("member"))
},
userDataDate: {
//Date properties
purchaseTime: Date.now()
}
}
}
}
};
</script>

Ok, so now for my particular case, all users are logged in (enterprise app), so we'd like to pass in 2 identifiers that let's us know which user, and which company a giving request is for. This will be particularly helpful with tracking down some users with rouge or broken browser extensions that are making various ajax requests while the user navigates our application.
I'm looking to capture this additional property on Ajax, PageView, and VPageView. Does what I've coded below "smell" right? (ignoring all other aspects of the adrum-config)
window['adrum-config'] = {
userEventInfo: {
"Ajax" : function(context){
return {
userData: {
user: sessionStorage.get("user"),
cust: sessionStorage.get("company")
}
}
},
"PageView" : function(context){
return {
userData: {
user: sessionStorage.get("user"),
cust: sessionStorage.get("company")
}
}
},
"VPageView" : function(context){
return {
userData: {
user: sessionStorage.get("user"),
cust: sessionStorage.get("company")
}
}
},
}
};
...or do I need to also specify all method verbs I want to track this on?... e.g. GET/POST/PUT/HEAD/...
