Changes to Dimensions
Earlier, Discover supported the creation and reporting of four sets of
references: TLT_Application, TLT_URL,
TLT_Server, and TLT_Host. Essentially, these reference
sets were data dimensions. In earlier releases, these reference dimensions were common to
all events.
When the Discover Reference
session agent was enabled in the pipeline, you can map detected values
for the following dimensions to a predefined list of values. The mapped
value was inserted into the corresponding name-value pair in the [TltRef] section
of the request.
The reference dimensions from earlier releases are available in the following dimensions, which can be added to reports:
| Dimension | Old Version | New Version |
|---|---|---|
| Application | TLT_Application |
Application |
| Path | TLT_URL |
URL |
| Server | TLT_Server |
Server |
| Host | TLT_Host |
Host |
These predefined lists can be generated from values that are detected in session data and logged. Various reports and multiple Discover products used these reference dimensions.
The new reporting model provides much greater flexibility in the dimensions that you can use.
