x-dynatrace-test Headers

!!! note "Expect No Traffic in Dynatrace" You won't see these values (or any traffic in Dynatrace) by default because the load test is hitting example.com

If you have a service instrumented with OneAgent or OpenTelemetry, modify `example.jmx` to hit your URL instead to see traffic.

Open jmeterscripts/example.jmx{target=_blank} and notice a few things:

  • The load test calls example.com and specifies an x-dynatrace-test headers with these values:
SI=jmeter;LSN=Scenario1;TSN=Step1;LTN=Demo LoadTest 1

These values help arrange and organize your load testing across multiple scenarios, steps and load test names.

The definition of these values (and additional values) can be found here{target=_blank}.

Tear Down Thread Group

A tearDown thread group exists (which fires at the end of the load test)

  • This request is a POST to /platform/ingest/v1/events.sdlc with a JSON payload
  • The request has header values set for Content-Type and Authorization

This event allows integration opportunitities into other Dynatrace functionality such as triggering workflows automatically at the end of a load test.

Run JMeter

In the codespace terminal, paste the following:

apache-jmeter/bin/jmeter.sh -n -t jmeterscripts/example.jmx

View Events

When the load test finished, the teardown thread group{target=_blank} sends a Software Delivery Lifecycle Event (SDLC) to Dynatrace.

teardown call

Notice that the event contains metadata such as the provider and service which can be used for filtering in Dynatrace (see DQL below).

This event can be used as a trigger Dynatrace for workflows, synthetic tests, the site reliability guardian and more.

In Dynatrace:

  • Press ctrl + k and search for notebooks
  • Open an existing notebook or create a new one
  • Add a new DQL section and paste the following
fetch events
| filter event.kind == "SDLC_EVENT"
| filter event.provider == "jmeter"
| filter event.category == "finished"

sdlc event

The demo is complete.
