Hi Jeremy   The Type needs to be set to the customevent type that you set for the custom events you are sending to AppDynamics   e.g if you set the  customeventtype=mydbevents, you need to set that as the value for the type   https://docs.appdynamics.com/21.5/en/extend-appdynamics/appdynamics-apis/alert-and-respond-api/events-and-action-suppression-api   If you look at the above documentation, you can set additional  propertynames:propertyvalues, that you can use in the Policies, which you can't see in the UI, however, they are used in the Health rule policies to be used to filter different subtypes of Events.   Simple use case, you are sending both Oracle & MSSQL Events to AppDynamics You can set the following in your script or tool that is sending the events to AppD. customeventtype:mydbevents   Then set the following values depending on which DB Type the event is for(propertynames:propertyvalues) dbtype:MSSQL or dbtype:ORACLE   That way you can create separate policies for MSSQL & Oracle by using the parameter values   I hope I am making sense:) ...

Hi Jeremy   If the custom events are being populated, you can just create a new policy and select the Custom Events from the options   Which you can then add actions to send email etc. once those events are picked up     ... View more

Hi Sean   Just a question, what does the xml look like for the different searches? is it always prefixed by the maxrows line?, and only the value changes e.g membershipIdentifier or paymentMethod etc.   <MembershipSearchInput inSyncReferenceResolution="false" xmlns:xsd=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema " xmlns:xsi=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance " > <maxRows>1</maxRows> < membershipIdentifier >123456</membershipIdentifier> <sortBy> <SortColumn> <columnName>conceptFulfilledCode</columnName> <isDescending>false</isDescending> </SortColumn>   If only the field name changes depending on the search, you can just use a single data collector like below toString().split(</maxRows>).[1].split(<).[1].split(>).[0]   This will capture whichever value is then in that spot, but depends on what the other search xml looks like if this will work.     The other way would be to setup a single data collector for each value that it can be, with a match condition where the payload contains the "search value", and set the data collector field name the same for each Data collector per search.      This will then happen, e.g if the payload is as follows <MembershipSearchInput inSyncReferenceResolution="false" xmlns:xsd=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema " xmlns:xsi=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance " > <maxRows>1</maxRows> < paymentmethod >card</membershipIdentifier> <sortBy> <SortColumn> <columnName>conceptFulfilledCode</columnName> <isDescending>false</isDescending> </SortColumn>   Only the Data Collector with the match condition where payload contains "paymentmethod" will trigger and set the Type to that value   I hope I understood what you are trying to achieve:)   Ciao   ...

Hi Sean   If you are referring to MIDC's, you can use the "match condition" option to set something like where a certain value is not null.   This will then only collect the data collector when it has a value.   If it is for headers/params etc. You would need to understand which of them are used for which BT's and set them exclusively to avoid them trying to be collected where there are no values.   I believe within the analytics query, the null values are removed for all widgets except the table widget   Ciao     ...

Hi Bill   Maybe I am misunderstanding your requirement. My suggestion would give you the required outcome.   The URL's you provided, the parameters are at the end of the URL's after the "?", so not sure what you mean by drop the parameters and then use the first 3 segments? If you could provide screenshots or some more info about what you mean that would be great(Please remove any sensitive data)   Regarding your second question:) Split delimiter = The character based on which the URL is divided into parts Merge delimiter = The character which should be used to concatenate the different parts used based on the split to form the naming of backend.(this can be anything like &, -, % etc)   Ciao ...
