How do I use the getter method and a data collector to return objects from a list?

To get an object from a list, you will add the getter method that returns the evaluated value, then add the data collector to that method.

Please review the following steps as well as the reference (For example, it is assumed that getActionType and getResultMessage are implemented.)

1. On your SaaS Controller web page, navigate to Configuration > Instrumentation.
   
   
2. Click the Data Collector tab. Below the Method Invocation Data Collectors panel, click the Add button.
   
   
3. Input the following fields:
   

   <Example>
       Name: MyDataCollector
       Class: with a class name that equals MyApplication.mynamespace.myclass
       Method Name: Mymethod
       Match Conditions:
           Collect Data From: Method Parameter @index:0
           Operation on Method Parameter: Use Getter Chain: getActionType()
           Equals: Settle

   
   and click the Save button.

4. Below the Specify the Data to Collect from this Method invocation panel, click the Add button.
