Context: We have implemented RUM via APM and want to get an aggregated count of visits by url from that data.

If you look at this screenshot of a search (done via discover) you will see that `transaction.page.url` is showing up in the column:

 ![23%20AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/0/a/0afe1cf4fc209920d4a134f55ac2237bdf7c249e.png)

But `transaction.page.url` is not part of any mapping property in my apm-\* index and it also doesn't show up when I try to query by that property.

So where is it coming from? And how do I index unique page visits using it?

Hi @amit_e,

Currently, the page url is not indexed since it's the full url of the page including query strings and fragments, therefore it can potentially be very long. However, you can use [Tags API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/js-base/current/api.html#apm-add-tags) to add any information to Transactions and Errors.

Please note that the length of each tag is limited to 1024 characters.

Cheers,  
Hamid
