Hi guys, I have 2 different web services (RESTful and SOAP) exposed by the same JVM. I would like to capture both different request body (application/json and text/xml;charset=UTF-8).
I tried the following options:
-Delastic.apm.capture_body=all -Delastic.apm.capture_body_content_types=application/json*, text/xml* -> I can capture only json body
-Delastic.apm.capture_body=all -Delastic.apm.capture_body_content_types=text/xml* -> -> I can capture only xml body
-Delastic.apm.capture_body_content_types=application/x-www-form-urlencoded*, text/, application/json, application/xml -> it doesn't capture both types
Since this property is list type, I'm wondering how should I set it properly in order to capture both body types at the same time.
My best guess is that when you set -Delastic.apm.capture_body_content_types=application/json*, text/xml*, it doesn't count in text/xml* because of the whitespace. The agent supports putting a whitespace after the comma but due to console escaping, the value of the system property will probably be application/json*,. So I'd advise to either get rid of the comma or to appropriately quote the value. I'm not 100% sure what the correct quoting would be. Probably either -Delastic.apm.capture_body_content_types="application/json*, text/xml*" or "-Delastic.apm.capture_body_content_types=application/json*, text/xml*".
However, the default value is application/x-www-form-urlencoded*, text/*, application/json*, application/xml* which contains all of that.
To confirm what options the agent had recognized, set the log_level to debug which will cause the agent to log all the options when it starts.
Hi Felix,
Thank you for your suggestion! Right now it seems to work fine but I have to test different setup. Will definitely confirm in the next week!
Have a great weekend!
